The ‘covered’ is a left side

The director of football, Mateu Alemany, is living a frenetic days. And it is that apart from unsuccessfully looking for a way to release chips and wage bill to fit the financial ‘fair play’, It is also tracking the market to provide a solution to the requests that have been made from the technical area to improve the equipment.

The name of Álvaro Morata continues to be the number one candidate to reinforce the attack and the club continues to work tirelessly so that the now Juventus striker ends up at Barcelona. A complicated operation because it has several actors, including Atlético de Madrid, owner of the footballer, but which has the approval of both the technicians and the player himself as the main argument.

But in addition to a center forward who contributes goals and reinforces the alternatives in the offensive game, Xavi has asked for a left back. Aware that Jordi Alba cannot play everything between now and the end of the season, that Alejandro Balde, his replacement from the subsidiary, is still very green, and that Sergiño Dest is an option that does not convince the technicians, the machinery has been opened in search of a left back that meets a series of conditions.

One of them is that he comes on loan until June 30, that is, only for a few months. And it is that in principle, Barcelona would already have a candidate to occupy this demarcation from that date: the Valencian José Luis Gayà.

Some names have already come to the fore to come in the winter market, such as the Ajax side, Nicolás Tagliafico, or the Juventus side, Álex Sandro, advanced by the journalist Gerard Romero, although As AS has learned, the name of the side chosen by the technical secretariat to occupy the Alba lane has not yet come out.

Thus, the ‘covered’ is not in the attack, where all roads lead to Morata, but in the defense, and more specifically on the left wing.
