Barcelona can sign La Liga veteran for less than €15 million this summer – report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona’s plans for the summer transfer window mainly focus on strengthening the No. 9 position and the centre-back department.

At the same time, the sporting department, led by director Deco, is open to bolstering other areas in the squad as well.

One position under consideration is the goalkeeping spot, where a new backup goalkeeper for Joan Garcia could be brought in by the Catalans.

Wojciech Szczesny has barely played this season and despite the Pole being valued by the club, there is a feeling within that they could do with a better option as cover for their No. 1.

To that end, the name of Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro has been mentioned as an option.

The La Liga veteran goalkeeper’s current contract with the Basque club expires in 2027, meaning he would enter the final year of his deal in the summer.

As such, he would be available for a fee much lower than his release clause which reportedly stands at €70-75 million.

And, that figure could be less than €15 million, making him a very affordable option for Barcelona.

Deco has already held a meeting with Remiro’s agent to explore the possibility of a move, although reinforcing the goalkeeping position is not seen as a priority at this point.

Everything will depend on the shake-up in the goalkeeping department this summer, with Barcelona facing key decisions with the likes of Szczesny as well as young shot-stoppers like Diego Kochen, Aron Yaakobishvili, and Inaki Pena.
