A new report says that FC Barcelona will once again pass on signing José Luis Gayà, this time opting to give Alejandro Balde a chance to compete with Jordi Alba for the starting left-back spot next season.
Junior Firpo is said to be almost certain to leave at the end of this term. He was signed from Real Betis to compete with Alba but has fallen out of contention, with Ronald Koeman frequently going to Sergiño Dest at left-back over Firpo.
With that in mind, rumors stated that Barcelona would look to the Valencia left-back.
