Barcelona has started drawing up their plans for the summer transfer window, which will be carried out by Sporting Director Deco. Hansi Flick will be involved, and he is expected to influence at least one addition.
In recent weeks it has been reported that Flick would like to have signed a new right back in the summer. Barcelona currently has Jules Kounde and Hector Fort as options for the position, although the latter seems to be lent the following season, so that he can enjoy regular first team Football.
Deco is willing to deliver this request, as stated by Fabrizio Romano that Barcelona is exploring their options with regard to signing a new right back during the summer transfer window. They are pleased with Kounde, but the idea is that he will be further challenged for the following season, while this addition could also enable him to be equipped more easily.
One of the names that is mentioned as possible is the Andrei Ratiu of Rayo Vallecano. Deco is a large of the Romanian international, although Flick is said to be not convinced and would rather have other options.
The addition of a new right back can also allow Kounde to be played in the center of defense, which is his natural position, although Flick already has people like Pau Cubarsi, Ronald Araujo and Inigo Martinez as options there, while there has been an important speculation about the possible arrival of Jonathan Tah, who is his contract with Bayer Leverkusenen.
It is still to be seen how Barcelona is going to strengthen their right back options. The chance is that they will not have a lot of money to bring their target because of their well -documented financial misery, and also in view of the fact that there is a possible attacker with a big money.
