Barcelona are reportedly talking about full-backs again amid doubts over the form of Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde this season.
Mundo Deportivo reports that “there is some concern” for both Balde and Kounde, as neither player has managed to find their best form so far this season.

There is also a feeling that the two substitutes, Gerard MartÃn and Jofre Torrents, are not really genuine options to replace either player in the starting XI on a regular basis.
Barca are therefore looking at potential options and like Nuno Mendes and Josko Gvardiol, although neither are considered realistic options as they are on long-term contracts with their current clubs.
Alejandro Grimaldo’s name is being mentioned once again, with the Bayer Leverkusen defender said to be on the club’s shortlist, alongside Crystal Palace star Daniel Muñoz.
The Colombian international has spoken about his future during the international break, making it quite clear that he would love to make the jump to a big club.
