Barcelona 'keen on summer deal for RB Leipzig's Angelino'

Barcelona are reportedly considering a summer move for RB Leipzig defender Angelino.

The Catalan giants are expected to bring a new left-back to Camp Nou during this summer's transfer window, with the club looking to sign competition for Jordi Alba.

According to Sport, Angelino has emerged as a leading target for Xavi's side, with the 25-year-old once again impressing at club level during the 2021-22 campaign, contributing one goal and eight assists in 28 outings.

The report claims that Leipzig value the defender in the region of €30m (£25m), and the German outfit would be prepared to enter into negotiations ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

Angelino, who has more than three years left to run on his current deal, has scored 10 times and registered 24 assists in 83 appearances for the Red Bulls in all competitions.

The 25-year-old came through the youth system at Manchester City but only made 15 appearances of the English club's first team during two separate spells.
