Barcelona are gathering their plans for next summer's transfer window, and reinforcements in defense are the first priority, as identified by sporting director Deco. In particular, a new left-back is wanted to compete with Alejandro Balde, who has been under par this season.
Last week, they were linked with a move for AS Monaco's Caio Henrique, and now Sport have highlighted reports from France which also claim that Barcelona are very keen on the Brazilian defender.
In particular, it is a loan agreement that Barcelona will seek to agree with Monaco, since this would be the easiest way for an agreement to be reached due to the well-documented financial problems of the Catalan club.
Balde was called out for his poor attacking contributions, and Henrique is a player who likes to get forward from the left-back position. Barcelona will be aware of this, so it can be considered a good option to compete with the young man.
