During the final stages of the summer transfer window, Barcelona set their sights on adding a new righty to Hansi Flick's squad. In the end, his financial problems meant that it was impossible, but the interest in addressing the position is firm.

Currently, Barcelona have Jules Kounde and Hector Fort as their right-back options, although they will see the former return to his natural position in the center of defense. It means that the situation must be dealt with, even if it could be done at home.
According to SportBarcelona see Marc Casado as someone they call following in the footsteps of former captain Sergi Roberto – he also started as a midfielder, before being used regularly as a full-back for several years.
Barcelona I believe that Casado is someone who can adapt to being a right back in the coming years, although he will remain mainly as a defensive midfielder for now – this is where he has thrived so far this season, and even when Frenkie de Jong. and Gavi are back in full fitness, it will be difficult to replace him.
