Barcelona interested in signing Atletico Madrid's Reinildo Mandava

Barcelona is showing interest in Atlético Madrid defender Reinildo Mandava, whose contract expires in the summer of 2024. The 30-year-old Mozambique international could leave the Madrid club, where he has lost his starting spot this season, playing only 957 minutes in 18 appearances.

According to Football Espana, Barcelona's sporting director Deco views Reinildo as a versatile defender capable of covering both left-back and center-back positions. Sources suggest that the transfer could happen in the summer, although Atlético is open to letting the player go as early as January.

Barcelona sees Reinildo as an experienced defender who could strengthen the team's defense. However, questions arise about whether his playing style will suit Barcelona's system, which is focused on possession and an aggressive attacking approach.
