Rumours are swirling around Ruud Nijstad, with Barcelona reportedly showing interest in the defender currently plying his trade at Twente. With both teams looking to strengthen their squads, the move could have a massive impact on their seasons going forward. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, Barcelona are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. Barcelona's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.05 goals per game (22 in 21). Ruud Nijstad would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Reports suggest Barcelona are monitoring Alex Remiro, Bernardo Silva and Marcos Senesi whereas Twente have not been associated with other players at this stage.
