Barcelona consider summer move for Ferland Mendy
As Barcelona continue to dominate La Liga, the club's authorities have reportedly already begun planning ahead for next season. With the club certain to look for reinforcements in the summer to bolster the side, a number of names are being linked with the side.
If reports from Mundo Deportivo are to be believed, the club will look to sign a quality left-back to provide back-up for 29-year-old Jordi Alba. Lyon's 23-year-old Ferland Mendy is reportedly being hailed as the top target for the position, although Atletico Madrid's Filipe Luis and Real Betis' Junior Firpo are reportedly being considered as alternatives.
Barcelona have reportedly scouted Mendy a number of times this season, and the club's director of football, Eric Abidal, is believed to be a fan of the Frenchman.
