Sheffield United may try again for Barcelona’s Alex Collado this winter

The Blades are in the hunt for some reinforcements to their squad in the next transfer window.

Slavisa Jokanovic is said to want a couple of wingers and another midfielder.

Career to date

He played in the academy at Mercantil and Espanyol as a youngster before Barca swooped to sign him in 2009.

The 22-year-old rose up through the ranks of the Spanish giants and has made 83 appearances for their B team so far in his career, chipping in with 18 goals and 11 assists.

He has also played twice for Barca’s first-team but has struggled to really back into their plans due to the abundance of quality options they have in his position.

What now? 

Sheffield United are in need of some more quality in the middle of the park and it wouldn’t be a surprise if they try and lure Collado to Bramall Lane again.

The Sheffield Star say Slavisa Jokanovic’s side ‘may’ do so at this stage.
