Barcelona can sign La Liga veteran for less than €15 million this summer – report
FC Barcelona’s plans for the summer transfer window mainly focus on strengthening the No. 9 position and the centre-back department.
At the same time, the sporting department, led by director Deco, is open to bolstering other areas in the squad as well.
One position under consideration is the goalkeeping spot, where a new backup goalkeeper for Joan Garcia could be brought in by the Catalans.
Wojciech Szczesny has barely played this season and despite the Pole being valued by the club, there is a feeling within that they could do with a better option as cover for their No. 1.
To that end, the name of Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro has been mentioned as an option.
Remiro to cost less than €15 million
