Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico offered to Barcelona

The player's agents have contacted Barça to see if there'd be any interest.

Barcelona are still searching for a left-back to provide backup for Jordi Alba. With Alba's contract renewed, the club now need to find someone who can offer him a rest and cover when he's injured or suspended. Since Lucas Digne moved to Everton, there's been no natural replacement in the first team squad. 

Another name has now been added to the options being discussed by the club: Nicolás Tagliafico. The Ajax full-back, 26, is having a great season and has even scored important goals in the Champions League. His reputation could further grow if he continues his form against Juventus in the quarterfinals next month. 

The player's agents have contacted Barca recently to see if the Catalans would be interested. The reality is that they like Tagliafico as a player but he is far from a priority. 

In addition, it should be pointed out that Atletico Madrid have followed him for a long time. In fact, Diego Simeone's side are the favourites to sign the Argentine international if and when he leaves Ajax.
