Spanish giants Barcelona continue their search for the problematic right-back position, which has been a huge question for the club ever since Dani Alves’ departure.
The host of different names have been thrown in the mix, but the Spanish media are reporting that Arsenal right-back and former Barcelona graduate Hector Bellerin remains the top target for the Catalans.
Bellerin has gone through rapid rise at Emirates over the past twelve months. The Spanish defender is being eyed as a long-term solution for Barcelona, but the La Liga heavyweights are thought to be preparing a couple of alternatives should a deal to bring Bellerin back to Camp Nou fall through.
According to reports from the Spanish media outlet Sport, Barcelona are eyeing Chelsea right-back Cesar Azpilicueta and Bayer Leverkusen hot-shot Benjamin Henricks.
Azpilicueta has enjoyed a stellar campaign at Chelsea this season. The 27-year-old Spanish defender has been the mainstay in Antonio Conte’s title-charging side, emerging as one of the top performers for Blues.
The 20-year-old Germany international Henrichs made 26 Bundesliga appearances and his versatility has been arguably the most impressive trait of his.
