After it became clear that Dani Alves will move to Turin's "Juventus", "Barcelona" club needed a new right-back defender. According to various sources, the leaders of the Spanish champions have identified four potential candidates to replace the Brazilian. The priority for the Catalans is Hector Bellerin, a graduate of "La Masia" who plays for London's "Arsenal". The Spaniard has already made his mark in the England after a great season and has also earned a place in the national team, making him a perfect fit for "Barca". However, the "Gunners" are not willing to let him go, and the player himself has expressed his intentions to stay with them. Barcelona is also interested in 22-year-old Portuguese Joao Cancelo from "Valencia", 29-year-old Mariano from "Sevilla" and Juan Cuadrado from Chelsea. Juan Cuadrado has been linked with a move to Luis Enrique's team since the coach started working there, while the player himself has played for Fiorentina. Despite Barcelona's priorities, two new possibilities have emerged for them recently. "Mundo Deportivo" reports that Gregory van der Wiel and Rafinha could also move to Catalonia. Van der Wiel's contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire soon, making him available to join the team without any transfer fee. Meanwhile, there is only one year left on Rafinha's contract with Bayern Munich, so his transfer fee would be minimal. Although the latter two players may not be of the same caliber as Barcelona's starting lineup, they could still secure a place in the squad.
