Barcelona is working to sign a new defender during the current summer Mercato.
Barca signed Andreas Christensen for free this summer, after his contract with Chelsea expired, but Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez wants an additional defender.
According to the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, the Barcelona administration has given priority to offensive deals in recent weeks, but is now focusing on the inclusion of a new defender.
She pointed out that the French defender Jules Conde, the Seville defender, is the main target now in Mercato Barcelona.
Barca seeks to reduce the demands of Seville, which requires about 65 million euros to sell Conde, by placing Nico Gonzalez or Abdel Samad Zalzouli in the deal.
Zalzouli is with the first team in the preparatory round in the United States of America, but the renewal does not mean that he will remain this season, Xavi is very satisfied with his performance, but the renewal of Dembele and the arrival of Rafinha leaves the Moroccan with little chance of getting minutes in the attack.
It is likely that Zalzuli will leave in the coming weeks, and his destination may be Seville, led by Julen Lopetegui.
The Moroccan loves the coach and also Monchi and can enter the process that should end with the signing of Jules Conde for Barcelona, Zelzoli will be a way to make the process cheaper.
She explained that Chelsea was Barcelona’s main competitor in the Conde deal, but he has not made any offers so far.
She mentioned that the famous agent Jorge Mendes, who mediates between Seville and Barcelona, to settle the Conde deal.
