Barcelona is considering strengthening the left-back position during the upcoming summer transfer window, amid the controversy surrounding Alejandro Balde's situation after being left on the bench against Girona and Levante. According to the German newspaper "Bild," Nathaniel Brown, a player from Eintracht Frankfurt, is one of the most prominent names being considered.

The 22-year-old German full-back is having an outstanding season in the Bundesliga, prompting coach Julian Nagelsmann to give him his first international appearance with the German national team last October during the World Cup qualifiers.

The newspaper reported that Barcelona coach Hans Flick requested the signing of his compatriot to strengthen the squad's depth, giving him a real opportunity to compete for a starting position based on his performance.

Brown participated in 31 matches this season, during which he scored 3 goals and provided 6 assists. He also started against Barcelona in the current edition of the Champions League and assisted a goal in the match that ended with the Catalan team's victory.

The report also noted the interest of major clubs such as Manchester City and Liverpool, with Real Madrid and Arsenal also keeping an eye, while the deal could reach a value of 65 million euros, an amount that Barcelona does not seem ready to pay at the moment.
