Barcelona Targets Alex Remiro as Real Sociedad Accepts €8m Offer
Barcelona is gearing up for an active summer transfer window as they navigate La Liga’s 1:1 rule. Having already secured Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United, the Catalan giants are looking to bolster their squad further before the new season begins. One key area under consideration is the goalkeeper position. While Joan Garcia has established himself as the starting choice, Barcelona seeks another option to challenge him. The future of Wojciech Szczesny remains uncertain, as he may depart or find himself relegated to a third-choice role. Currently, Alex Remiro of Real Sociedad stands out as Barcelona’s top target to compete with Garcia. Discussions with the goalkeeper's representatives have taken place, and despite initial resistance from the Basque club, Real Sociedad appears ready to part ways with the 31-year-old. According to MD, the club has set a price range of €8-10m for Remiro, acknowledging his desire to pursue opportunities outside of Anoeta. However, any potential deal for Remiro hinges on the departures of Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Inaki Pena, both of whom are not in Hansi Flick’s future plans. If Barcelona can find suitors for these players, it will open the door for Remiro’s transfer. Until then, the club remains optimistic about finalizing a deal this summer.
