The French defender may only be a backup at this point, but there has clearly been a shift in strategy.
It's official, Barcelona have signed Lucas Digne from PSG for 16.5 million euros plus another possible four million. The left-back will be Jordi Alba's understudy, relieving Adriano and Jérémy Mathieu from that spot. (Surely, at least?)
Some may grumble about the price or say they preferred someone else. Others may be quite happy. Still others will be on the fence. Regardless, this signing, along with the purchases of Samuel Umtiti from Lyon and Denis Suárez from Villarreal, signals a shift in strategy.
