Xavi’s choice for a new left back revealed - report

FC Barcelona have a new target in mind, with Xavi’s blessing, when it comes to reinforcing the left-back position. Javi Galán of Celta Vigo could be the chosen one to compete with Jordi Alba next season, ahead of Nicolás Tagliafico (Ajax), Alejandro Grimaldo (Benfica), and Álex Moreno (Betis), among others.

That is according to Diario AS.

Another heavily rumored name was that of José Luis Gayà from Valencia, although it is said he will remain with that club rather than move on a free transfer.

Tagliafico was linked to Barcelona in the last transfer window but it seems the moment has passed, with the blaugrana looking towards other options.
