Barcelona is actively seeking to enhance their full-back options for the upcoming year, with plans to explore potential signings in the summer transfer window.
According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan club is closely following the situation of Atletico Madrid defender Reinildo Mandava.
The 30-year-old Mozambican’s contract is set to expire at the conclusion of the 2024/25 season, and he has shown little interest in renewing it after losing his starting position to teammate Javi Galan.
Barcelona values Reinildo’s adaptability, as he can effectively play as both a left-back and a center-back, making him an attractive option to provide backup for Alejandro Balde.
Given the financial challenges the club faces, signing a high-profile full-back like Alphonso Davies may prove difficult, prompting interest in a free transfer for Reinildo instead.
Throughout his career at Atletico Madrid, the full-back has made 91 appearances, contributing two goals and one assist.
As Barcelona prepare for the busy summer transfer market, Reinildo’s versatility and availability could make him a key addition to bolster their defensive lineup.
