Barcelona add Espanyol’s Omar El Hilali to list of right-back targets

Barcelona have reportedly added Espanyol right-back Omar El Hilali to their list of targets ahead of the summer transfer window.

Hansi Flick is believed to be eager to strengthen his full-back positions at the end of the summer to help out Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde.

According to Diario Sport, El Hilali is the latest right-back to catch the club’s eye after an impressive campaign with Barca’s local rivals.

The report claims that Deco wants to sign a young player that Barca can develop and El Hilali fits the bill nicely.

Yet there’s also a suggestion that the club will find it difficult to bring in the youngster this summer as Machester United and Arsenal are also keen.
