- FC Barcelona has started with the January transfer window preparations.
- As per reports, a full-back reinforcement might be on the board's priority signings in January.
Despite having one of the best starts ever to their new campaign, a significant factor worrying Barca's board and the fans has been the Blaugrana club's injury issues.

FC Barcelona plans to prioritize full-back reinforcements in the January window
Although the Blaugrana defense has been playing rock solid and looking impressive as a unit, with stars like Jules Kounde and Pau Cubarsi shining in the club's backline, having more options would be favorable for the club. As per recent reports, the Barcelona board can look up to some reinforcements in the full-back position if the situation demands.
According to Diario SPORT, Barcelona's sporting management is keeping an eye on the market to see if it is possible to sign players in January. The report further mentions that the club might prioritize full-back reinforcement. In fact, Barca is closely monitoring the Monaco duo of Caio Henrique and Vanderson for this purpose.
While Caio Henrique is 27 years old, Vanderson could be one of Barcelona's favorites, considering that he is only 21, being an ideal prospect for the club's future. Even though Barca currently has options like Alejandro Balde and Gerard Martin on the left and names like Jules Kounde and Hector Fort on the right, the club might be open to more options.
Interestingly, FC Barcelona is set to face AS Monaco in their next fixture, with reports indicating Barça will keep a close eye on Brazilian full-backs Caio Henrique and Vanderson. However, Barca's interest in the full-back duo isn't unnoticed by Monaco sporting director Thiago Scouro, and clearly, the club could demand a significant price for potential moves.
