ESPN: Tagliafico only wants to join Barca and has informed Ajax of his intention to transfer

According to ESPN, Barca are interested in loaning Ajax full-back Tagliafiko, and the player's contract with Ajax will expire in 2023.

It is reported that Tagliafico has told Ajax that he wants to join Barcelona this month. Barca looked for a left-back in January, and as Alba's reserve player, they set their sights on Tagliafico, whose contract with Ajax expires in 2023.

Napoli have also been in contact with Ajax on Tagliafico, but the Argentina international has made it clear that he only wants to move to Barca. Sources say Ajax is reluctant to let the players leave this month because Ajax needs Tagliafico in both the domestic league and european competitions.

However, Tagliafico, which has not been reused this season, has informed the team of their desire to leave the team. Barca are looking for a left-back option to fill the short-term needs, so they are more inclined to go on loan and join the buyout clause. They will then re-evaluate their options at the end of the season, with Valencia's Gaya being a long-term option. Like Tagliafico, Gaya also entered the final 18 months of his contract, although Valencia said the player was in the process of renewing his contract.
