Barcelona have set their sights on Las Palmas left-back Sergi Cardona, a player who will become a free agent at the end of the season. Cardona's contract situation has caught the attention of several clubs in Europe's top leagues, and Barcelona is not far behind, having made contact with the player's agents in recent months.
The 2024 summer transfer window promises to be intense for the 24-year-old defender, who has emerged as one of the potential bargains on the market when he signed on in June. With several clubs from the top five leagues having expressed interest, Barcelona have positioned themselves as serious contenders for Cardona's services.

Cardona, a site for the present
The need to strengthen the left-back position has become increasingly urgent for Barcelona, ​​especially after Alejandro Balde's long-term injury. Xavi Hernández, the team's coach, welcomes the addition of Cardona, who stood out with his solid performance in Las Palmas.
Competition at left-back is crucial for Barcelona, ​​and Sergi Cardona's versatility and youth make him an attractive option for Xavi's project. With the opportunity to add depth and quality to the team, Cardona's arrival could be one of Barcelona's most notable moves in the summer market. The race to sign him is on and Barcelona fans will be keeping an eye on how negotiations develop in the coming months.
