Barcelona eyeing Atalanta fullback Robin Gosens

Barcelona are eyeing Atalanta fullback Robin Gosens.

Sport says Barcelona have decided to deeply remodel their squad and it seems they are aiming to give Jordi Alba some competition at left back.

Barca are looking at Gosens, who has had a great season. Along with Angelino at Leipzig and Valencia's Jose Gaya, he is on the club's list. They are expensive but on the market and will move this summer.

Gosens is 26 has a great impact in attack, scoring 10 goals with Atalanta and setting up eight.

For Ronald Koeman's system he'd work very well, but also can play left back in a four man defence. His contract runs until 2022 but Atalanta have the option to renew it unilaterally by a year. Gosens would like to leave to join a higher level team who can fight for trophies.
