According to a request from head coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona wants to sign a new right back during the summer transfer window. The idea is that a player is brought in who can compete with the current starter Jules Kounde, especially in view of the fact that Hector Fort is expected to leave the club – probably on loan.
Barcelona should be able to spend a considerable amount this summer now that they are back as a rule of La Liga 1: 1, although they still have to sell to generate funds. That is why it is likely that the new right back will not be a major signature, given that the intention of sports director Deco is to grow up on a new attacker.
For the right back place, the favorite of Deco Rayo Vallecano's Andrei Ratiu, who this season has been one of the striking artists in the position in La Liga. However, it seems that it will be difficult for the Catalans to close a deal in the summer.
That's because Rayo Vallecano sports director David Cobeno Radio Marca (via Sport) has told that there are no plans to keep negotiations with a club that wants to sign the Romanian international.
“Andrei is a 50/50 player of ours, if someone wants to ask us about him, we can talk, but we will ask for the clause. It is his first season in the elite on a continuous basis and we want him to stay with us. He is a fundamental pillar, so that the team can continue to grow in La Liga next year. “
Ratiu's release clause is € 25 million, but Rayo would only fell € 12.5 million if it was activated in the summer because Villarreal has 50% of the player's rights-and this is probably the reason that the club established in Madrid is not willing to accept less. They are not in a hurry to less because his current deal ends in 2028, and that is why Barcelona might have to look somewhere else.
