Barcelona weighs options for Lamine Yamal's backup ahead of next season

Barcelona is evaluating potential alternatives for Lamine Yamal's backup as Hansi Flick prepares for next season. Roony Bardghji currently holds the position but may be offered for transfer amid uncertainty regarding his future at the club. While Bardghji earned Flick's trust last season, he has not solidified his spot, and Barcelona is open to discussions with interested clubs. Other potential options include Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford, both of whom could fill the role if needed. A return of Jan Virgili is also being considered, given his decreased release clause following Mallorca's relegation.
