Barcelona didn’t sign a new left-back in January because Xavi has complete confidence in Jordi Alba, according to Diario Sport’s German Bona.
The Barca boss prioritised the signing of a new striker instead. This resulted in Blaugrana signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
With Alejandro Balde injured, only Sergino Dest and Oscar Mingueza could substitute Jordi Alba on the left side. Both players don’t seem natural choices in this position.
Barca reportedly target Valencia’s Jose Gaya, Ajax’s Nicolas Tagliafico and Benfica’s Alex Grimaldo ahead of a possible summer switch to Camp Nou.
