According to the daily sports newspaper, Barca have locked their reinforcements on Benfica left-back Grimaldo, and Xavi believes that the player is very suitable for his tactical system.
It is reported that Barca hope to get players on loan, and Benfica is also open to this transfer, the key to this deal is whether the two sides can agree on the mandatory buyout terms, of course, Benfica also accepts to rent players for a year and a half.
Valencia captain Gaya was also a priority target for Barca. But his recent contract extension has made progress, so Barca have put the deal on hold for the time being. The deal could be completed this summer.
In addition, Ajax player Tagliafico is also one of Barca's options, but Barca only want to loan players for six months, while Ajax only wants to sell players.
The Daily Sports newspaper said Barca had a good relationship with Benfica, which was conducive to facilitating the deal. Last summer, Benfica also asked Barca about the possibility of going on loan to Umtiti.
