The options that FC Barcelona would handle for the right back as alternatives to Joao Cancelo

The FC Barcelona, in spite of having Jules Koundé like a valid option for the right side, seems to follow looking for a carrilero right-handed that can strengthen even more this position, that has been a weak point for the club lately. In principle, the most valued option is to renew the loan of Joãor Cancel. Nevertheless, the negotiations with the Manchester City by the Portuguese do not promise to be simple, by what the Barcelona directive has to be prepared in case this transaction does not arrive to good port.

Apparently, one of the alternatives that seemed to have more possibilities was to purchase to the carrilero right-handed of the Bayer Leverkusen, Jeremie Frimpong. However, from England, specifically from the media 'CaughtOffside', have suggested three new names that would be in the orbit of the Catalan cast to reinforce this right band and that they are relatively new in this wave of rumours: Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United), Emerson Royal (Tottenham) and Arnau Martínez (Girona FC).

The alternatives that would handle the FC Barcelona in case of not being able to renew the cession of Joãor Cancel

In this point, the referred half English catalogs like "surprise" the possible interest of the FC Barcelona in Wan-Bissaka, the one who finalises his agreement with the Manchester United on 30 June 2025 and was not to title in the 'Network Devils' during the season 2023/24, being Diogo Dalot the one who had more presence. Nevertheless, the exjugador of Crystal Palace, is valued by his physical power and his defensive performance, and this campaign faced 30 commitments and added a total of three assistances.

In the case of Emerson Royal, the possible interest in him is probably less surprising, since it formed part of the combined Barcelonan although only it played three meetings in the season 2021/22. It is necessary to remember that the group culé saw in him an opportunity of business and finished selling it to the Tottenham by 25 M€. Now, in the period 2023/24, the one of São Paulo had a secondary paper in the combined londinense, since the position of right side was occupied by Pedro Porro, one of the best carrileros by the right-handed band of the Premier League in this course. Likewise, it suits to stand out that the majority of the 24 apparitions of Emerson with the 'Spurs' were like left side and defender.

Finally, the third option, Arnau Martínez, there was state more linked to the club culé recently and was considered like a reinforcement 'low cost' for the right band in the FC Barcelona. However, the Catalan did not have his best season in 2023/24 in terms of participation, since only it contested 26 duels with three assistances, partly because of the big performance of Yan Couto, the one who won him the square in the picture gerundense.
