Barcelona ponder move for Wolves defender Hugo Bueno as cheaper alternative to Alphonso Davies

<p>Barcelona have already begun planning their squad for the next season and want to prioritise reinforcing the defence with the signing of a left-back, with Wolves' Hugo Bueno, on loan at Feyenoord, emerging as a low-cost option according to a report by <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-pendiente-hugo-bueno-111806936" target="_self">SPORT</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Bueno, who is 22 years old, has been impressing at Feyenoord this season, registering three assists in 10 appearances in all competitions. The Spaniard's performances haven't gone unnoticed, with Barcelona pondering a move for the offensive-minded left-back for 2025.</p><p>Barcelona lack depth in defence, especially at left-back, becoming an area of concern that the Catalans want to address ahead of the 2024-25 season. Alejandro Balde has been a top player for Hansi Flick, but his understudy Gerard Martin hasn't quite convinced.</p><p>Bueno's contract with Wolves ends in 2028, but Barca are hopeful they can acquire him on the cheap, although his value could rise if he keeps playing at a high level. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Bueno isn't the only left-back on Barca's radar, though. The club are also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/barcelona-alphonso-davies-hansi-flick-bayern-full-back-real-madrid-man-utd-remain-interested/bltabfc8b46e037bba8" target="_self">rivalling Real Madrid for the signing of Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies</a>, who could leave the club for free next summer as his contract in Germany is set to expire. Alternatively, Barca could also recall academy graduate Alex Valle, who is currently enjoying a fine season on loan at Scottish heavyweights Celtic. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>With the international break over, Barcelona will return to action this weekend. They face a stern challenge in the form of Celta Vigo, who they will be playing at the Estadio de Balaidos on Saturday, November 23. </p>
