Barcelona considering loan move for Monaco left-back Caio Henrique

Barcelona are said to be interested in Monaco left-back Caio Henrique who is keen to leave the Ligue 1 club.

Deco is said to have been watching Henrique for some time and sees him as a real option to help bolster the Barca backline, according to reporter Andrés Onrubia.

Barca are thinking about a loan move, with a purchase option, and Henrique is said to be willing to leave Monaco as he’s slipped down the pecking order.

There’s even a suggestion that Henrique is willing to go in January, although it’s not clear if Barca will be in a position to sign players in the winter window.

The Catalans still need to find a way to try and register Dani Olmo and Pau Victory, who are both only registered until the end of the year.

Yet left-back is something of a problem position for Barca. Alejandro Balde is the only recognised left-back in the squad, leaving Hansi Flick a little short on options.

Barcelona have been linked wtih a move for Alphonso Davies at the end of the season, but the latest updates have suggested he will stay at Bayern instead.
