???? El Barça contacta con el Borussia Dortmund para fichar a Guerreiro. Al lateral izquierdo le queda un año de contrato, costaría máximo 25M y llegaría para competir con Jordi Alba. Operación más factible que la de Junior (Betis) #fcblive pic.twitter.com/F5gtY6wVcL

Guerreiro would be the perfect backup for Jordi Alba because of his attacking mindset, the 25-year-old provided six assists for Dortmund last season, the ace would be a great addition to the squad because of his versatility.
Guerreiro can play anywhere on the left flank, the ace has actually demonstrated that he’s more of a threat when he’s utilised in a left-wing role for Dortmund.
Dortmund could be open to cashing in on the star as his contract is set to expire next summer, it’s understood that Barcelona see Guerreiro as a better option than Real Betis’ Junior Firpo.
Guerreiro could prove to be a major coup for Barcelona, the star is a key player for Portugal and has just helped his country lift the Nations League trophy, he would perfectly into the Catalan club’s style of play and his consistency shows that he’d be reliable for Ernesto Valverde whenever he’s called upon.
