The Spanish giants are also looking to bring in a new right-back this season, meaning that Sergino Dest will not be needed at the club, despite wanting to stay and fight for the place.

As reported by SportBible, Barcelona have drawn up a shortlist of players for the right-back spot.

Among the names on the list are Thomas Meunier from Borussia Dortmund, Juan Foyth from Villarreal, Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester United duo, Aaron Wan Bissaka and Diogo Dalot.

With the club’s finances still very much making headlines, some felt that Barcelona should instead focus on registering Koundé before attempting to bring new players into the club.
