Barcelona's 5-Man Right-Back Shortlist Emerges Following Aleix Vidal's Poor Form

Barcelona's 5-Man Right-Back Shortlist Emerges Following Aleix Vidal's Poor Form

Luis Enrique is looking to strengthen at right-back and has quite the list of targets...

Barcelona right-back Aleix Vidal has failed to impress since joining from Sevilla and already looks likely to leave the club.

Dani Alves, now at Juventus, was first-choice right-back at the Nou Camp for years, and Vidal - who also made the move to Barcelona from Sevilla has struggled to adapt.

That means Barcelona are looking at potential transfer targets and according to MARCA, they have a stacked list in mind.

Valencia's Joao Cancello is on the list and should he sign, he would be Barcelona's second full-back in the team to have arrived from Los Che. Experienced right-backs Stephan Lichsteiner and Darijo Srna are also said to be options, while there are also two more youthful candidates.

Bayern Munich defender Joshua Kimmich, somewhat famous for being screamed at by Pep Guardiola, is on the shortlist which is completed by the inclusion of Arsenal's flying full-back Hector Bellerin - who spent part of his youth career at Barcelona.

That's quite a stacked list of alternatives should Barca decided to get rid of the uninspiring Aleix Vidal.

Some would say it's almost as good as Chris Jericho's list (there's one for you WWE fans).
