Barcelona are scouring the transfer market for opportunities ahead of the January transfer window and think that Manchester City outcast Rayan Aït-Nouri could be an interesting option.
The 25-year-old has only featured in the League Cup and Champions League for Manchester City this season and is thought to be looking for a way out in the winter.
Barca are looking for defensive reinforcements and a replacement for Alejandro Balde, meaning Aït-Nouri may just fit the bill, according to Diario Sport.
Balde
has struggled for game time all season and Hansi Flick’s decision to use Brian Farinas and Frenkie de Jong at full-back recently, suggests that’s a situation which is not going to change any time soon.
Sport say that Manchester City would be looking for a loan, but would prefer to add a mandatory purchase option, while Barcelona are looking for cost-effective solutions this winter.
Juventus and Manchester United are also believed to potentially be in the race as both clubs are eager to bolster their left-back options.
