Barcelona Reportedly Target Nacho Monreal, Alberto Moreno as Jordi Alba Cover

Barcelona are reportedly considering strengthening their options at left-back and are interested in Arsenal's Nacho Monreal and Liverpool's Alberto Moreno.

According to Mundo Deportivo (h/t Jack Stewart of the MailOnline), Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde is concerned about the lack of depth in the position, as Alba is the only senior option in the squad. That's after the La Liga side sold Lucas Digne to Everton this summer.

As such, they are said to be looking at both Monreal and Moreno. The duo may be available for cut-price amounts in January or on a free transfer at the end of the season, as their contracts are set to expire at the end of 2018-19.
