According to former footballer, now working as a consultant for "Barcelona", Ariedo Braida, the team will need to strengthen their defense this summer.
Currently, in the ranks of the UEFA Champions League winners, there are five players over 30 years old. These are Dani Alves, Jeremy Mathieu, Adriano, Javier Mascherano, and Thomas Vermaelen.
Catalonians need to rejuvenate their squad, as their other defensive options are also experienced players. Gerard Pique is currently 29, Jordi Alba is 26, and Marc Bartra and Douglas are both over 25.
"Barca" needs to acquire defenders, as this group is characterized by a high average age," - Braida told Premium Sport. "The club currently has five defenders who are over thirty."
There are reports in the foreign press that the Catalans are interested in Everton's John Stones and Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Bilbao.
