ESPN: Wanderson is one of the options that Barcelona considers, but make sure a big name player leaves first

According to sources, Monaco fullback Wanderson is one of the options Barcelona considers before the transfer window is closed.

Wanderson, 24, has been linked to Barcelona several times, but the transfer has not become a reality due to Barcelona's own financial problems and Monaco's valuation of Wanderson about 25 million euros. According to ESPN, Barcelona is willing to strengthen the defense line after Inigo Martinez travels to Saudi Arabia, and a source confirmed to ESPN that Wandersen is one of the candidates.

However, the deal is complicated, as Barcelona's preferred choice needs to ensure the departure of a big-name player. In this regard, ESPN reported on Tuesday that Chelsea has begun to contact Fermin Lopez to assess its willingness to transfer. In addition, Barcelona is willing to listen to quotes for Casador, Araujo and Christophene to comply with the principle of financial fair competition in La Liga.

Whether publicly or privately, Frick made it clear that he did not want the team to lack any players. In the right-back position, both of his players are from central defenders: Eric Garcia and Conde. Conde has been a starter for Barcelona in the past two seasons, and Eric Garcia also performed well as a full-back last season.

Recently, Conde renewed his contract with Barcelona until 2030, and a source told ESPN that the club also hopes to renew his contract with Eric Garcia after the summer window is closed. In terms of Wanderson, this would be a more offensive option so Flick could also send Conde and Eric Garcia at the centre-back position.

Wanderson has played for Monaco since January 2022, and he is also a regular member of the Brazilian national team. Barcelona has been in good relations with Monaco since Fati's loan deal.
