Andrei Rațiu (26 years old) faces competition for a transfer to FC Barcelona, one of the best teams in the world.
The Romanian international is on Deco’s list, Barcelona’s sports director, for a possible transfer in the summer.
However, Rațiu faces competition. According to the Spanish press, FC Barcelona has set its sights on another right-back, an 18-year-old Dutch youngster. We are talking about Givairo Read from Feyenoord. The cited source claims that Barcelona officials have closely followed Read in the Dutch team's matches.
The transfer of Givairo Read is expected to cost less than 10 million euros, an advantage considering that Rațiu has a release clause of 25 million euros in his contract with Rayo Vallecano.
