Over the next few months, FC Barcelona will work to reinforce their squad. At the moment, the Catalan giants are not at all satisfied with the players they have and their recent displays. To add some competition and drive into Barcelona, it is important to invest adequately.
With Marcos Alonso likely leaving Barcelona this summer, and Flick still being uncertain about the profiles at the club, there is a possibility that Barcelona will continue to look into names and profiles that could end up serving them well in the summer window as potential left-back targets.
Also known as Esquerdinha, the explosive left-back currently plays for Brazilian outfit Fluminense. He has also represented his national team at youth level, and has emerged as one of the most promising fullbacks that Brazil has produced in recent memory, resulting in him becoming a suitable target for Barcelona given his quality.
His speed is noticeable, and so is his physicality, he also possesses good aerial reach due to his 1.83m height, as well as a great shot that is also reflected in his set piece-taking ability.
Moreover, his hypothetical incorporation comes in a package that would suit Barcelona. In case the player arrives, he would do so on a subsidiary contract and would have occasional experiences with the Barcelona first team as many stars of the B team have done so in the past.
The reason that becomes rather difficult is due to the fact that other clubs are also interested in Esquerdinha. This interest mainly comes from the Premier League, and the clubs there possess much greater financial muscle than Barcelona.
At the moment, while the player is valued at €1.5 million, he has a release clause worth a reported €70 million and a contract with Fluminense until 2026.
