Without a rest! Barça reactivates the search for the left back

Jordi Cruyff, director of the area of international football of the FC Barcelona, confessed that the Barcelona club gave to the task to look for a left-handed side of level for this market of January, but that finally did not attain to find the profile of a specialist filmed at good cost by what took the decision leave said operation for the coming market of summer.

Conscious that it treats of a strategic position inside the team, the Barcelona club will devote to look for to a side that can go through on of Jordi Alba in the titularity. And no escatimarán efforts. While the right-handed lane already is allocated for César Azpilicueta, in the left the Barça has foreseen to make an investment and have clear the aims.

It does not fit the lower doubt that the main candidate to occupy said position is Gayà. The valencianista is almost an obsession for the sportive area when treating of a natural spare of Jordi Alba, by sportive conditions. The big problem, and like this has communicated it to him the own footballer to the Barça, is that his priority is to renew by the Valency before listening any offer.

At the beginning of this month of February is foreseen a meeting between the club 'che' and the side, and in the Camp Nou are very attentive of what can suceder. In case that Gayà do not arrive to an agreement, the Barça would launch already with all due to the fact that his agreement finalises in 2021 and Valencia would not have more remedy that sell. From the breast of the Catalan entity understand that to the club valencianista would not go him badly this traspaso to square accounts, but are expecting of events. It is important to have clear also that the positions between Valencia and Gayà have approached and his continuity would be nearer, but is not safe.

Second option of the Barça

On the table, the direction of Barcelona football has to Grimaldo, a footballer that was sondeado to arrive this month of January in condition of yielded, but the Benfica did not allow his exit. It was traspaso or at all. Xavi Hernández knows that the ex canterano has grown of exponential form. It finalises, like Gayà, in 2023 his agreement but in this case does not have intention any to renew by what the Benfica will have to sell him himself or yes this summer. Besides, the club lisboeta has in wallet to several youngsters blaugrana that they could abaratar the operation.
