Bordeaux are in talks with Barcelona for Sergio Palencia.

The talented fullback is ready to leave Barca this month after the B team's relegation to Segunda B.

The Barca B captain didn't feature in Saturday's friendly against Figueres, which has fueled talk he is on the move.

Bordeaux intend to take Palencia on a season-long loan with the option to buy, reports Goal.

Barca have already signed former Eupen fullback Moussa Wague as a readymade replacement.
