Barcelona is preparing for a busy summer transfer window, with several spots in their team needing attention. Right-back is one of the positions that might need a new player.

  • Current Situation:
  • Jules Kounde is playing there but hasn't been consistent.
  • There's no backup.

So, Barcelona might look for a new right-back.

Potential Targets

Julian Ryerson

  • Rumors: Barcelona is interested in Borussia Dortmund's Julian Ryerson.
  • Challenges:
  • Dortmund values Ryerson highly.
  • He has a long contract with them.
  • Barcelona's financial situation isn't great.

Conclusion: It's unlikely they will sign him next summer.

Nico Schlotterbeck

  • Position: Central defender (another area Barcelona needs to address).
  • Potential: Could be a good option for Barcelona's sporting director, Deco.

Question: Will they be able to sign him? Only time will tell.

Conclusion

Barcelona has a lot of decisions to make this summer. They need to prioritize which positions to strengthen. Spending big on a right-back might not be the smartest move, especially when there are other areas that need attention.

It will be interesting to see how things play out.
