Borna Sosa on Barça's agenda as an alternative to Jordi Alba

Barcelona are on the move ahead of the summer transfer window and Borna Sosa has emerged as a new candidate for Xavi Hernandez's left-back. The Stuttgart player started his career at Dinamo Zagreb and has already attracted interest from Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

Now, it is the 'Culés' who are talking about signing him. 'Sky Sport' claims that the Spaniards have sent emissaries to Germany to follow him closely in a live match. He is being a key part of his team, which is fighting to stay in the Bundesliga. In fact, in the event of achieving it, the Catalans would be at a disadvantage.

It turns out that his contract, which runs until 2025, has a termination clause that would drop to 25 million euros in the event of the club's relegation to the second division. This figure is affordable for the pockets of most of Europe's powerful clubs, so the scenario would be ideal for Joan Laporta's board as well.

If Borna Sosa were to join Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez could use him as an alternative to Jordi Alba. In this way, he would diversify his squad and, in the long term, give him the chance to fight to be the future starting left-back at Camp Nou, as Alba is already over 30.
