Celtic On Alert As Barcelona Make Summer Target Available For Transfer Along With 4 Other Players

Barcelona will try to sell Alex Collado at the end of the season, according to Sport.

The winger was a target for Celtic last summer before he joined Elche on loan, but it is believed he will be made available for transfer when he returns to the Camp Nou in June.

Collado has had a difficult spell with Elche, having started just eight games, and the 23-year-old has spent the last two months out injured due to a torn abductor muscle.

It is, therefore, debatable whether the Hoops would consider recruiting the Spaniard, especially as manager Ange Postecoglou has plenty of options in wide areas.

Barca are also expected to offload four other players who are currently on loan. Clement Lenglet (who is at Tottenham), Samuel Umtiti (Lecce) and former Wolves winger Francisco Trincao could all be let go.

Sergino Dest may be the one who attracts the most interest though. He was linked with Manchester United and Chelsea before joining AC Milan.
