90min reports on Barcelona's agreement over personal terms with Almeria right-back Marc Pubill. Barcelona have reached an agreement over personal terms with Almeria right-back Marc Pubill, who is their top target to bolster at the back. It will cost Barcelona around €20m (£16.7m) to sign Pubill.

A transfer agreement is reportedly closed between Marc Pubill and Barcelona, as well as between the clubs, awaiting final details. Barcelona is aware they need to offer around 20 million euros for the 21-year-old player. Pubill's contract with Almería lasts until 2029, with a release clause of 40 million euros.

Barcelona is keen on acquiring Marc Pubill to bolster their right-back position. Their interest dates back to last summer, but financial constraints related to salaries hindered the transfer at that time. The club has been tracking Pubill’s development in the Segunda División and has kept in touch with his agents to ensure he does not join another team. Almería is aware of Barcelona's interest and has indicated they are unwilling to release him for a low fee, having purchased him for 5 million euros a year and a half ago. They anticipate receiving at least 20 million euros from any future sale. Additionally, Levante, Pubill's former team, holds a clause entitling them to a percentage of any transfer fee.

Hansi Flick, the coach of Barcelona, has expressed the need for reinforcements in the team, particularly in defense. The names of Marc Pubill from Almeria and Alphonso Davies from Bayern are mentioned as potential signings. However, due to Barcelona's financial situation, it seems likely that these transfers will not occur until the summer.
