Barcelona eyeing Valencia fullback Jose Gaya

Barcelona are eyeing Valencia fullback Jose Luis Gaya.

Marca says Jordi Alba could be set to leave Barcelona this summer, with Inter Milan rumoured to be interested in signing the experienced left-back, and the Catalan club have already identified his ideal replacement: Valencia's Gaya.

Gaya put in some impressive performances for Valencia in the 2020/21 campaign, despite Los Che's disappointing season overall, as he contributed one goal and seven assists in 33 LaLiga Santander matches.

The 26-year-old Gaya is viewed as a good long-term replacement for the 32-year-old Alba, with the current Valencia captain bringing strong leadership qualities to the side, in addition to his footballing qualities.
