Endless search for a new right back

The endless search for a new right back continues. Although it seems clear that the Catalan Héctor Bellerín is the player most liked by the technical staff, the board continues to keep a considerable number of alternatives in mind.

For example, today the newspaper Sport puts forward the name of Nelson Semedo (23 years old), a player who has experienced considerable progress since joining the first team of Benfica. Furthermore, in this case, the newspaper adds that both Luis Filipe Vieira, the president of Benfica, and Jorge Mendes, his agent, held a meeting last Tuesday with representatives of Barcelona to study his possible arrival at Camp Nou.

Similarly, Mundo Deportivo also twists this issue today by indicating that the scouts of the Barcelona team don't lose sight of the Frenchman Djibril Sidibe (AS Monaco, 24 years old), the Malian Almamy Touré (AS Monaco, 21), and the Italian Andrea Conti (Atalanta, 23), a player who seems to have surprised the scouts with his brilliant performance this season.

Although their chances of joining Camp Nou seem much slimmer, the aforementioned medium also states that the club has prepared reports on another pair of Italian full-backs: Alessandro Florenzi and Matteo Darmian. In the case of the former, his handicap is injuries, and in the case of the latter, the discreet level of performance he has shown since joining Manchester United.
