Xavi wants to bring in a left-back to compete with Alba this summer

Barcelona have been looking for a left-back to compete with Jordi Alba next season. Many names have been linked, from Nicolás Tagliafico to Alejandro Grimaldo, passing through José Luis Gayá annd Álex Moreno, among others.

Celta Vigo's Javi Galan can now be added to that list, according to Diario AS. Barça have been following him for a while and feel he could be the perfect player to alternate with Alba, who turns 34 next season.

Galan, 27, is a regular in Eduardo Coudet's Celta side, standing out for his speed, directness and ability to link with his teammates.

However, he has a contract at Balaidos until 2026 having only joined the club last summer, so any transfer would command a fee -- or a player exchange.
