Lichtsteiner tops Barcelona’s RB shortlist

Barcelona will try to sign one new right-back in the January window and according to Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo, Juventus outcast Stephan Lichtsteiner tops the blaugrana January wishlist.

The ‘Swiss Train’ is struggling with game time since the beginning of the 2016-17 campaign, as Max Allegri usually starts either Dani Alves or Juan Cuadrado over him.

​Lichtsteiner, 32, has not been included in Juventus’ Champions League squad list and has only played 572 minutes in Serie A so far this season, scoring two goals and registering as much assists.

​Barcelona are looking are still looking for a replacement for Dani Alves as Luis Enrique has been adapting Sergi Roberto as right-back since the beginning of the season and the Spanish boss prefers signing Lichtsteiner over Matteo Darmain and Darijo Srna who are also being monitored by the Nou Camp outfit.

Lichtsteiner’s Juventus contract expires in June 2017, but the Old Lady can exercise a clause to extend the player’s stay for one more season without the player’s agreement.
