‘No one has contacted me’: La Liga star’s agent discusses Barcelona transfer interest | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have well and truly arrived on the transfer scene, and their return to the 1:1 Fair Play rule is sending shockwaves through the football community.

The Catalans have already tied down Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United and are now working on full steam to get Julian Alvarez locked in as well.

For the first time in years, they are operating with complete financial freedom and a clear sense of direction.

A possible goalkeeping reinforcement

Joan Garcia arrived last summer and has already established himself as one of the best in the world in his position. Wojciech Szczesny has served as an able guide for the former, but his performances have not generated as much conviction.

On that front, Real Sociedad’s Alex Remiro has emerged as a potential option to strengthen Barcelona’s goal this summer and serve as Garcia’s backup.

His agent, however, recently confirmed to Erem News (h/t SPORT) that no official advance has been made yet.

“At the moment, no Barcelona official has contacted me for the signing of Remiro,” Francisco Valdivi, Remiro’s agent, began.

“He has a contract with Real Sociedad and, if they want to sign him, they must speak directly with the sports management of La Real,” he added.

Notably, La Real are open to selling the player at the right price, possibly around the €8 to €10 million mark.

A revolution in goal

Heading into the summer transfer window, Barcelona are looking to make massive moves in goal, albeit more in departures than arrivals.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen, whose loan stint away from the club was also hit by injury, is seen as a saleable candidate should any club be interested. Academy graduate Inaki Pena is another player who the club sees as saleable.

The futures of Ander Astralaga and Aron Yaakobishvili, meanwhile, continue to be in a grey area and will largely depend on whether or not Barcelona pursue a new signing in the department.
