Barcelona is reportedly interested in AtlΓ©tico Madrid’s key defender, Reinildo Mandava, as they aim to strengthen their roster for the summer 2025 transfer window. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Mozambican left-back has drawn the attention of Barcelonaβs management due to his reliable performances and extensive experience.
Mandava has been a crucial player for Diego Simeone, participating in all 11 of AtlΓ©tico’s matches this season, making him a strong candidate to bolster Barcelona’s defense. At 30, his impressive form has caught the eye of sporting director Deco and others at the club, positioning him as a prime target for a free transfer when his contract ends next summer.
With Barcelona looking to enhance their left-back options, Mandavaβs availability and proven skill set could make him a perfect fit, particularly given the financial limitations at Camp Nou. If the transfer goes ahead, it would represent a significant, cost-free enhancement to Hansi Flickβs squad.
