Cancelo is the most important deal. Will Barcelona support their attack and forget their defence?

Barcelona have officially signed Anthony Gordon on the left wing and are currently focusing on Julián Alvarez or a straight forward to fill the goal void left by Robert Lewandowski, but at the same time the club is working on strengthening the defensive line, which is still unresolved.

Mundo Deportivo newspaper reported that “Barcelona” left Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni out of their accounts, as he was considered the first choice of the Catalan club. Despite this, Barça need a left-footed defender.

He added that the only notable strengthening of the “Barcelona” table at present…Joao Cancelo continues in the ranks of the clubAfter spending the second half of last season on loan from Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal.

Portugal’s Jorge Mendes, Cancelo’s agent, is dealing with contract issues with Al Hilal, who have no intention of leaving the player, except to get money, which Barcelona have so far refused.

Coach Hans Flick’s team has Frenchman Jules Kunde in the right-back position, although the club has not ruled out a transfer, as his name has been linked to Liverpool for some time.

The Frenchman faces competition from Cancelo and Erik Garcia, in addition to La Masia talent Javi Espar. As for the left-back position, Alex Grimaldo and Mark Cucuria have been mentioned, but they currently appear to be two goals away.

Ronald Araujo, Pau Cobarsi, Andreas Christensen and Erik García are among the current options at centre-back, with Cobarsi the only one with a guaranteed and intact position.

In addition, there is Gerard Martin, who had a fantastic season at centre-back last year and is a versatile option, and one could add youngster Alvaro Cortes, who is highly rated by Flick.

At left-back, Barcelona have Cancelo himself if he can sort out his situation, Gerard Martin in his natural position and even Balde, who has been rumored to leave but is also unwilling to move to the Catalan club.
