With the difficulties in agreeing a deal with Manchester City for João Cancelo and the lack of consensus between the key decision makers when it comes to Real Valladolid’s Iván Fresneda, Barcelona have reportedly added a new target for the right-back position: Mallorca’s Pablo Maffeo, according to Javier Miguel of Diario AS.
Maffeo’s name, which was offered to Barça as an option by the player’s camp (according to Gerard Romero), came up during a meeting between Barça’s sporting director Mateu Alemany, director of football Deco and manager Xavi Hernández on Tuesday to discuss the current state of the club’s transfers, and there seems to be an agreement between all three that Maffeo would be a good addition to the squad.
