Barcelona’s planning for next season is taking shape, with several positions under review as the club looks to build a balanced and competitive squad.
While much of the focus has been on attacking reinforcements and defensive depth, the goalkeeping department has become an area of attention.
With preparations underway, Barca are exploring options to strengthen their depth between the posts, particularly with the intention of adding a reliable backup option.
The idea is to ensure competition and cover, especially as the demands of multiple competitions continue to stretch the squad.
One name that has been gathering momentum in recent weeks is Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro, who has been heavily linked with a move to Camp Nou.
The Spaniard is believed to be open to the role being offered, which would see him operate as a secondary option next season.
The plan is centred around Joan Garcia, who is expected to take on a more prominent role, with the club keen to build around him moving forward. In that context, Alex Remiro has emerged as an ideal candidate due to his experience, consistency and willingness to fit into the structure being designed.
Amid the growing speculation, Remiro has now addressed the rumours while away on international duty with Spain, offering a response that has only added to the intrigue.
“I’ve heard a bit about it on social media, but right now I’m completely focused on Real Sociedad.
“We have a Copa final and we are very focused and excited to win it. Barca? You never know,” he said, as relayed by Sport.
While the goalkeeper made it clear that his immediate attention remains on his current club, his closing remark has not gone unnoticed.
With Barcelona continuing to assess their options, the situation remains one to watch as the summer window approaches.
