Barca set to Rami as an alternative to Thiago Silva

The sports management believes that the centre-back Valencia would be an affordable option if Milan does not adjust prices.

Adil Rami is one of the players that are under control. The center of the Valencia defense is seen as a solvent, 26, whose transfer would involve a financial outlay acceptable to the coffers of the club. The sport address has the watchword of managing different options in case Thiago Silva escapes to the Barça network. The Brazilian is still the first choice but its price soars above 30 million euros and Milan still has not opened the auction. Rami has made the cut of the technical secretariat. The defender has improved its performance year after year and be part of those bets with players from more discreet name that used to surprise Guardiola regularly. The Frenchman is there, but have not initiated contact.

Barca knows how to handle the defensive behind Valencia. In addition to monitor Jordi Alba, Guardiola has also expressed admiration for Victor Ruiz. (via SPORT)
