"However, the deal is complicated because Barça would first need to secure the departure of a big-name player. In this regard, ESPN reported on Tuesday that Chelsea have made an approach to gauge the availability of Fermín López, while Barça are also open to listening to offers for Marc Casadó, Ronald Araújo and Andreas Christensen in an attempt to comply with LaLiga's financial fair play rules."
"Hansi Flick, who has made it clear both publicly and privately that he wants to offload no players from the squad, has two converted centre-backs at right-back: Jules Koundé and Eric García. Koundé has been the starter for the last two seasons, while Eric made a big impression last season as a full-back after Koundé was injured in the Champions League semifinal against Inter Milan at Montjuïc and started this season in that position as a starter for the team."
Monaco full-back Vanderson, 24, is a potential Barcelona target contingent on outgoing transfers and financial capability. Vanderson has been valued around €25 million, which has previously hindered a move. Barcelona aim to reinforce their defence following centre-back Iñigo Martínez's departure to Al Nassr. The club must secure a high-profile exit to pursue new signings and comply with LaLiga financial fair play rules. Chelsea have shown interest in gauging Fermín López's availability. Barcelona are open to offers for Marc Casadó, Ronald Araújo and Andreas Christensen. Hansi Flick prefers to retain the squad and currently uses Jules Koundé and Eric García as right-back options.
