Barcelona: Could Milan star Suso be an option for the right flank?
Éric Abidal has been scouting players for the right wing recently
Barcelona have invested aggressively in the attack in recent years, but the attacking department can be made complete by signing just one more player, a winger to act as a backup for Lionel Messi and compete with Malcom as second-choice winger.
Club scouts have already identified Pedrinho as a potential option, and Andre Cury has already begun negotiations with Corinthians for the 20-year old Brazilian. But since he is uncapped and inexperienced, he might find it very difficult to adapt to surroundings at the Camp Nou.

But Éric Abidal should also identify alternatives. Valencia wonderkid Carlos Soler is an option, but so is Milan star Suso. The 24-year old Spaniard has made waves at the San Siro since arriving from Liverpool 3 seasons ago, and is a good option too.
In 79 appearances in all competitions, Suso has scored 14 goals and has provided 18 assists. The young forward has shown great dribbling, crossing and passing skills during his time at Milan, and has shown a knack of shooting from distance.
And while he will be expensive, Suso is slowly entering his prime and the club would have a reliable backup to Leo Messi in the squad if Suso is signed. The Liverpool academy product has a market value of €35 million, and will cost in the region of €50 million.
But Milan are unlikely to let go of their star player, especially after last season, when Suso took on a very important role in the first-team.
