FC Barcelona continues to search the market for a reinforcement for the right-back position ahead of the 2025-2026 season. Although the sports management, led by Deco, believes that the team does not need many additions, the priority is to strengthen that area of the field. Currently, Jules Koundé has been tasked with playing on the right side, even though his natural position is in the center. However, the coaching staff believes it is necessary to have a reliable alternative.
In this sense, Héctor Fort, one of the options from the youth academy, has not fully convinced Hansi Flick. The young defender has had limited participation in LaLiga, leading the club to intensify the search for an experienced and proven quality full-back. And in this process, a name has emerged: Vanderson, current player at AS Monaco.
Deco's Best Choice
The 23-year-old Brazilian has been standing out in Ligue 1 for several seasons, catching Deco's attention, who has been closely monitoring him for a while. His profile matches what Barcelona is looking for: speed, defensive solidity, and offensive projection. However, the operation will not be simple. As reported by MundoDeportivo, Monaco considers him a key piece in their scheme and has valued him at €30 million, a high amount for Barcelona's economy. Additionally, the Catalan club's main concern is the competition from Premier League teams, which could present more attractive offers.
Meanwhile, on the left-back, the bet continues to be Alejandro Balde, with Gerard Martín and Álex Valle as future options. But on the right, Barcelona seems to have clear their priority: Vanderson.
