Barcelona is already the best misery looking for a long -term answer to the best part of a decade, and although Jules Kounde seems to be convinced as an answer for the time being, the Blaugrana will go into the summer again in the summer as one of their priorities. However, they still have to arrange an option for the function.
The will of Vandersonon (as Monaco) and Marc Pubill (Almeria) have both been connected to Barcelona in recent weeks, which were presented last summer. One of the names that a lot has been reported lately is also Rayo Vallecanos Andrei Ratiu, with the Romanian international enjoying a good season in Vallecas.
According to Cadena Ser, Barcelona director of Football Deco is one of the greatest fans of Ratiu, and he believes that he could be the right alternative to Kounde for next season. Moreover, he will not control a large price tag. Their information is that manager Hansi Flick is much less convinced that the 26-year-old is the answer to their problems.
For his part, Ratiu is aware that he is in the thinking of Barcelona, but is also interested in the Premier League and Serie A for a likely movement in the summer. Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur are two of the sides that are linked to a movement of € 25 million for Ratiu. That is his release clause, of which Villarreal will receive 50%, as part of the deal for his move to Madrid.
Ratiu was raised in a meeting between Deco and his agents in November, discussing other players. It is not excluded that the reimbursement could fall if Barcelona is open to players in Rayo in exchange. The Pacy right back has two goals and two assists in its 25 performances this season in Spain.
