Forget Juan Cuadrado and Lukasz Piszczek, the latest rumours surround FC Barcelona's interest in Sao Paulo full-back Douglas, which has been reportedly confirmed in the past 24 hours by Sao Paulo's president, Carlos Miguel Aidar
Juan pro direct Cuadrado . Lukasz Piszczek. pro direct Even Kyle Walker. It seems as though every single right-back in world football has been linked with a transfer to the Camp Nou this summer pro direct and as sure as the sky is blue, another report has surfaced in the past couple of days claiming to have identified FC Barcelona s latest defensive target. His name? Douglas, a Brazilian of course who plies his trade for Sao Paulo.
However, this report is different this isn t some tenuous link fabricated by the Spanish media, pro direct or a story plucked from thin air by the English media this report has traction and credibility in the form of statements from Sao Paulo s president, Carlos pro direct Miguel Aidar. pro direct Speaking at the unveiling of Sao Paulo s latest signing, former Olympique Lyonnais winger Michel Bastos, Aidar was pressed pro direct on Douglas future and confirmed that there was interest in the full-back from Catalunya.
Indeed, Aidar is convinced that Barcelona has made preliminary contact with the player himself with regards to a potential transfer and with Sao Paulo ready to negotiate; the ball is in Andoni Zubizarreta s court.
Naturally, there are obstacles, the first and foremost of which surrounds the future pro direct of Dani Alves . As we have noted on multiple occasions, pro direct Barça s interest in procuring another full-back rests entirely upon the future of Dani Alves . It s influenced our rather public pursuit of Juan Cuadrado , and it has hindered any move we may have been planning to make for Lukasz Piszczek , although there are question marks as to whether Alves future will hold similar pro direct sway with respect to this potential transfer.
At the age of 24, Douglas is by no means the finished product, even if he has considerable pro direct experience in Brazilian football and a season pro direct under the tutelage of such an iconic figure as Alves may be the most prudent approach for Luis Enrique and FC Barcelona. Given Martin pro direct Montoya s versatility, Douglas arrival pro direct may not necessarily impact the Catalan s game-time as much as some expected pro direct leaving one final, predictable, hurdle: price. pro direct
With FC Barcelona, nothing is ever concrete. Despite Aidar s comments, Barça may not make a move for Douglas; for one reason or another, we may rule out a move entirely, or perhaps our interest and the story is a mere ploy, planted in the media to entice Fiorentina to lower their demands for Cuadrado. Whatever pro direct the case, this is a story we will continue to follow; keep an eye on our Transfer News Hub , and August Transfer Rumours pro direct Storystream for full coverage of Barça s interest in Douglas and any developments in the Cuadrado saga.
