Barcelona switch left-back focus to Jerome Roussillon?

Wolfsburg defender Jerome Roussillon has reportedly emerged as a summer transfer target for Barcelona.

The Spanish champions are said to be in the market for a new left-back this summer with Jordi Alba lacking senior competition.

Augsburg's Philipp Max has been linked with a switch to Camp Nou, although Barca would reportedly face strong competition from Liverpool when it comes to the German.

According to Diario Sport, Roussillon is an alternative for the Catalan giants, who could launch a bid of £22.5m for the 26-year-old.

Roussillon, who is a former France Under-20 international, only joined Wolfsburg from Montpellier last summer and made 31 appearances for Die Wolfe during the 2018-19 campaign.

Barca will begin their preparations for the new season against Chelsea in Tokyo next week, before also facing Vissel Kobe, Arsenal and Napoli ahead of their La Liga opener against Athletic Bilbao.
