According to the latest reports from Sport, after signing Gabriel Jesus, FC Barcelona is focusing on bringing in a left-back.

Reports indicate that following the Gabriel Jesus signing, FC Barcelona is turning its attention to acquiring a left-back ahead of the upcoming match against Rayo Vallecano. Hansi Flick has acknowledged that Deco is continuing to work on finalizing the squad.

Throughout the summer, bringing in a left-back has been one of the hottest topics at the club. Several months ago, signing a player for that position seemed to be the club's top priority for the season. Alessandro Bastoni was once considered a potential candidate for FC Barcelona, however, Deco's plans ultimately took a different direction.

Ultimately, the issue comes down to Hansi Flick's requirements. He believes Gerard Martín can fill this position, and there are also doubts about whether Bastoni would fit Barcelona's system, particularly given the demanding requirements of their high defensive line.

In this context, Álvaro Cortés appeared to be ready to become a key player under Hansi Flick, but he chose to leave for two main reasons: he felt he would not get enough opportunities with the first team, and he was aware that the club was seriously looking for a left-back in the transfer market.

FC Barcelona's recruitment efforts are in full swing, and all signals indicate they are looking for emerging talent: young defenders that the club hopes will be a long-term investment for the club.

Currently, the club has signed Mikael Baza, a 16-year-old left-back on an academy contract with the B team. Ruud Nijstad, an 18-year-old Dutch prospect, is one of their top targets.

Deco may surprise everyone again, just as he did with the Gabriel Jesus signing. He may discover a promising young talent that hasn't yet been reported by the media. Nijstad is a tall left-back – standing 1.95 meters – who has rapidly progressed to FC Twente's first team.

FC Barcelona's interest in Nijstad has been long-standing, with Deco and João Amaral having visited twice to meet with the player's agent. Both sides hold him in high regard. Although he is still young, he is viewed as a defender with enormous potential and significant room for growth.

Another young left-back that FC Barcelona is closely monitoring is Jorge Salinas from Racing Santander. However, to date, FC Barcelona has made clear it will not pay his release clause (€16 million), and Atlético Madrid is also seriously attempting to sign him.
