Valverde Hints at New Barcelona Signing

By Daily Sports on July 27, 2019

Ernesto Valverde confirmed a new left-back is on Barcelona’s wishlist and said the door would remain open for new arrivals until the transfer window closes.

La Liga champions Barca want to find support for Jordi Alba and are reportedly moving closer to signing Junior Firpo from Real Betis.

Philipp Max of Augsburg is said to be an alternative, while Bayern Munich star David Alaba figured in rumours as a less realistic option

Neto, Frenkie de Jong and Antoine Griezmann have all joined since the end of the 2018-19 season and Barca’s business appears unlikely to end there.

“It is true that we had some problems on the left side [of defence] and it is possible that somebody may arrive,” head coach Valverde said.

“But we are open to the market until the last day and we will see what happens.”

It is understood that transfer plans at Camp Nou will not be tweaked despite changes being made behind the scenes.

Pep Segura has departed his role as director of football and there is no plan to bring in a successor, with responsibilities set to be shared between those already at the club.

Valverde will have some input into possible targets, but is focused on pre-season matters for now.
