Barcelona is actively working to strengthen its squad ahead of the upcoming season, with a focus on acquiring one of Spain’s most promising young defenders.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan club is interested in 19-year-old Jorge Salinas, a center-back from Racing Santander. Salinas had an impressive season in the Segunda, making 32 appearances and playing a crucial role in his team’s promotion to La Liga.
The club’s scouting department has reportedly compiled several positive evaluations of Salinas. However, securing a transfer will depend on internal personnel decisions and other market movements.
Currently, Salinas is contracted with Racing until the summer of 2029, and his deal includes a release clause of approximately €10 million, as indicated by sources.
