The left back could offer competition for Jordi Alba at Camp Nou next season

Barcelona will sign a left back in the summer. They have a list of candidates, with Valencia’s Jose Gaya top of the list, but it could be a complicated deal. Grimaldo is also liked, but the sports department is also interested in Leipzig defender Angelino. His name was on the table during the negotiations over Ilaix Moriba, and Barcelona know what he wants to sign. 

Angelino has consolidated as a top level player at Leipzig after moving from Man City. The Germans paid 18m euros for him. 

Leipzig want around 30m now, although the figure is negotiable and Barcelona consider him a valid option for the spot. He would give Jordi Alba tough competition for his space. 

The club are working on deals but also thinking about signing Erling Haaland. If he does not come they will have more money to spend elsewhere.
