Barcelona Hold Talks With Álex Remiro’s Agents as Deco Tests Goalkeeper Options
The club treats the position as an opportunity, with any move contingent on cost under a tight summer budget.
Overview
- Sporting director Deco recently met representatives of Real Sociedad’s Álex Remiro to assess his contract situation and potential fit, according to Spanish reports relayed by Yahoo Sports.
- Remiro, 30, is described as Sociedad’s undisputed starter with a contract running to 2027, a timeline that could ease negotiations this summer.
- Barcelona do not prioritise a new goalkeeper after Joan Garcia’s arrival, though the club could seek experienced cover behind him.
- A previously reported €70 million release clause had deterred interest, with a lower fee now seen as more feasible if Real Sociedad choose to negotiate.
- No agreement or bid has been reported, as Barcelona’s main focus remains a centre-forward, a left-footed centre-back and efforts to extend Marcus Rashford.
