RUMOURS: Glen Johnson among cut-price right-backs being considered by Barcelona

The La Liga outfit are in the market for experienced cover as they seek to replace Aleix Vidal, with Lichtsteiner, Srna, Zabaleta and Ivanovic also in their thoughts


Barcelona are eager to bring in experienced cover at right-back, with Mundo Deportivo reporting that Stoke City’s Glen Johnson is among those under consideration by the La Liga giants.

The 32-year-old has played for the likes of West Ham United, Chelsea and Liverpool in the past, while earning 54 caps for England, but linked up with the Potters as a free agent in 2015.

It would be a remarkable move were he to end up at Camp Nou, but the contract he signed upon his arrival at the Bet365 Stadium is due to expire next summer so there is the potential for a switch to be made in January.

Johnson is not the only option for Barca, though, with experienced Croatian Darijo Srna, Juventus’ Stephan Lichtsteiner, Manchester City’s Pablo Zabaleta and Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic also said to figure on their winter window shortlist.
