#3 Jose Gaya of Valencia
Another talented option that Barcelona staff should look into is Jose Gaya. The 25-year-old from Valencia could be a viable option for the Catalans. Although the Spanish defender has now lost the hype train, he is still a very good left-back for advanced game style. His playing style is similar to Alba as he is often found at very advanced positions trying to whip in a good cross inside the box. With over 180 appearances in the La Liga, Gaya would have no trouble fitting into the Barcelona side. The Spaniard would be cheap as well although he would have to take a rather moderate wage. Koeman should definitely keep him in mind as an alternative to the other options if they do not work out.
