New left-back appears on Barcelona's radar - 3 things to know

Barcelona are monitoring Borussia Dortmund left-back Raphael Guerreiro, according to Sergi Sole of Mundo Deportivo.

Here are the things to know about the Portuguese:

Eye for goal

Guerreiro is one fullback who had an eye for goal - more like Jordi Alba. This season, the 28-year-old has made 9 goals contributions (5 goals, 4 assists).

Barcelona are in need of a robust left-back who can help overload the flanks and make important goal contributions - that's why they're all about Marcos Alonso.

Strengths

Guerreiro is a pretty good passer of the ball. Stats show he makes 1.2 key passes per game in the league.

He also boasts an 85.5% pass accuracy. He's also a good dribbler, with 1.1 successful dribbles per game.

Barca could certainly do with a player with the strengths highlighted.

Market value

Dortmund paid Lorient €12m to sign Guerreiro in 2016. His value has skyrocketed since. The defender is now valued at €35m.

Barcelona may be able to negotiate a cheaper fee for Guerreiro given that his contract expires in 2023.
