Salary reductions could make Messi leave? Barcelona is looking at these three players to replace Jordi Alba

Barcelona seems to be in times in which lots of decisions will be taken around the club and the squad as well.

However, the team is looking for new options to bring into the team. Among the names are some stars from different leagues.

Possibly, the biggest candidate is Valencia’s left back José Gaya, who has already made his debut for the national team of Spain. Also Chelsea's Marcos Alonso is on the list, but it has to be seen if new coach Thomas Tuchel counts on him or not. Gayá would like to renew his contract in his current club, but as reported by Mundo Deportivo, the first offer was not good at all.

Last, but not least is another Spanish left-back. After playing for Bayern Munich and currently in PSG, Juan Bernat, has been recovering from a long injury and is approaching the end of his contract. He could arrive to battle for the spot with Jordi Alba, in case Dominican Republic-born Junior Firpo leaves the club. Does the club need to reduce salaries’ expenditure.
