One of Barça's major objectives for this coming summer is to strengthen the right-back position. The lack of a reliable specific right-back has forced Jules Koundé to play almost everything, and that has led to him getting injured.
Koundé is, in fact, the player with the most minutes on the squad this season. He has played absolutely everything, largely because Flick doesn't trust Héctor Fort.
the options of the sports management
The sports management, in this sense, already has a list of possible reinforcements to fill that vacancy. Among the names on the table are Andrei Ratiu and Marc Pubill.
Ratiu, an international with Romania, has shown great offensive projection and notable physical ability, while Pubill has interesting qualities despite playing in the Second Division.
the option that has caught Deco's interest
However, according to the newspaper Sport, there is another name that has emerged strongly on the blaugrana agenda: Wesley Vinicius, a 21-year-old right-back from Flamengo. The young player has been closely followed by the club's scouts, and his profile fits Barça's signing policy.
Wesley stands out for his defensive solidity and his ability to join the attack, which has earned him the interest not only of Barça but also of several European clubs. At Can Barça, they see in him a possibility, capable of performing from the first moment and with room for growth, although the operation is not straightforward.
europe's giants get ahead
According to the portal "Madrid-Barcelona," the big problem for Barça is the fierce competition that exists for Wesley. Premier League clubs like City, Arsenal, and Liverpool are also very interested in his services, and they would be willing to put a considerable amount of money on the table.
Barça's financial limitations pose a significant handicap in this struggle. Although the interest in Wesley is real, the fact that English clubs can present higher offers distances the Brazilian right-back. In this scenario, the sports management might be forced to reconsider the operation or focus their efforts on other more accessible market options.
