Jorge Mendes, the agent of Tiago Santos, is offering the young defender's services to Barcelona. The club is considering the possibility of signing Santos in the next transfer window to strengthen their right-back position. Barcelona faces financial difficulties and competition from several top clubs interested in Santos, but he remains an attractive option for the club.

The Catalan club is focusing on Tiago Santos, a Portuguese right-back from LOSC, as they are looking for a player with a more offensive style than Jules Koundé. The Spanish newspaper Sport reported that Tiago Santos has been recognized as a potential recruit. Over a year ago, LOSC acquired Tiago Santos from Estoril for 6.5 million euros. His current market value is estimated at 15 million euros according to Transfermarkt, a price that is affordable for FC Barcelona despite their financial constraints. Nevertheless, if Tiago Santos continues to excel in the Champions League, as he recently did against Real Madrid, this price could rise significantly.

Barcelona's coach, Hansi Flick, expressed his intention to strengthen the right-back position following the departure of João Cancelo due to budget constraints. Jules Koundé is currently the main player for this position, with Hector Fort serving as a substitute. Tiago Santos, a Portuguese player from Lille, is being considered as a potential candidate. He transferred from Estoril for 6.5 million euros and has since increased in value, though he still remains within Barcelona's budget. Scouts from Barcelona have reportedly attended several Lille matches to observe him, and he is represented by Jorge Mendes, an agent Barcelona has a good working relationship with. However, the competition for Tiago Santos might be tough as several clubs have already expressed interest.
