As published this Monday by the newspaper L'Equipe, Eric Abidal tried, before leaving the position of technical secretary, the signing of Faitout Maouassa, little left back (1.70 meters) of the Stade Rennais. Maouassa was the one chosen to put pressure on Jordi Alba since Júnior Firpo did not convince the coaches last season and has become a transferable player.
Maouassa, what played on loan for Nimes last season but belongs to Stade Rennais, would have ceased to interest Barça after the departure of Abidal, who decided to leave office before planning the 2020-21 course. But the problem of the left back continues to present in Can Barça. Jordi Alba is no longer a guarantee in technically demanding European matches and for Junior the club wants to get a slice. So Barça is still open to the possibility of signing a left back.
