PSG set to leapfrog Barcelona in chase for Dortmund left-back Raphael Guerreiro
Barcelona have a serious conundrum at left-back as Spanish international Jordi Alba is their only recognized specialist in the position.
While the 30-year-old is a world-class performer in his own right, he has his shortcomings and the gruelling nature of the campaign ahead means that Valverde would need fresh legs in all positions in a bid to maintain freshness.
This has stemmed their interest in Portuguese left-back Raphael Guerreiro, as the 25-year-old has distinguished himself as one of the fastest rising left-backs in Europe.
The Euro 2016 winner has impressed with Dortmund in the Bundesliga and would provide able competition for Jordi Alba while his versatility also means he can be deployed further up the field if need be.
New reports, however, suggest that PSG are interested in rivalling Barcelona for his signature, as the French champions' manager Thomas Tuchel had earlier coached Guerreiro at Dortmund and is keen to bring him over to the Parc des Princes.
