Juan Foyth unlikely to join Barcelona next summer - report

Juan Foyth is considered to be highly unlikely to join FC Barcelona next summer, according to a new report which says Villarreal CF will ask for an extremely high price for his transfer.

Foyth had been linked with a move to the Camp Nou last summer, but ultimately it never materialized, partially because he got injured when the transfer window was closing.

The Argentine plays as a centerback or right-back, but Xavi was really interested in him as a fullback. At the moment, Barça has no recognized starting right-back, with Jules Koundé filling in there most of the time despite preferring to play in the center.
