Plagued by serious defensive problems this season, Barça already knows its main project for next summer. After the arrival of João Cancelo in January, there was long talk of bringing in a referenced central defender, while Ronald Araujo is only a shadow of himself, and Andreas Christensen spends most of his time in the infirmary.
It is also not impossible that the Catalan club will seek to find a second goalkeeper, given that Wojciech Szczęsny will hang up his gloves, this time permanently. Currently, it is Inaki Pena who should take over this role as Joan Garcia’s understudy, he who is currently on loan to Elche where he was even downgraded recently. Nothing to reassure Barça, therefore, which is already prospecting on the goalkeeper market.
A meeting took place with Alex Remiro’s agents
According to the Catalan media Sportthe sporting director of Culés, Deco, would have even accelerated the procedures in recent hours. The former Portuguese international actually met the agents of Alex Remiro, the Real Sociedad goalkeeper and Spanish international (he is third goalkeeper behind Unai Simon and David Raya, while Joan Garcia has just been called up for the first time).
According to Sportthe nature of the exchanges would have concerned the possibility of a transfer this summer, Alex Remiro arriving one year from the end of his contract. The 30-year-old goalkeeper is attracting the interest of several foreign clubs, and has been in Barça’s sights for some time. Until now, his release clause of 70 million euros had constantly made a transfer impossible, but his contractual situation is this time favorable to Barça, given that Real Sociedad could be forced to negotiate a much lower transfer fee, under penalty of seeing him leave for free in 2027. Deco advances his pawns quietly, it remains to be seen whether this file will now go to the end.
