Barcelona Explores Monaco’s Talent Pool for Defensive Reinforcement

Barcelona is reportedly on the hunt for a new right-back to bolster their squad depth. While the club is satisfied with French international Jules Koundé’s performance, they recognize the need for additional options given the demanding fixture schedule ahead.

Monaco’s Brazilian defender Vanderson has emerged as a prime target for the Catalan giants. The 23-year-old’s versatility, capable of playing on both flanks, coupled with his balanced offensive and defensive abilities, has piqued Barcelona’s interest. Vanderson’s skillset aligns well with the club’s requirements for a well-rounded full-back.

Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, is said to have a good rapport with Vanderson’s representative, potentially facilitating negotiations. While the Brazilian player is reportedly open to a move to Camp Nou, it’s worth noting that he is not the sole candidate on Barcelona’s shortlist for the right-back position.

As Barcelona continues to evaluate their options, the potential acquisition of Vanderson could provide valuable competition and depth to their defensive lineup, complementing Koundé’s role in the team.
