Barcelona 'weighing up summer move for Willian Jose'

Barcelona are reportedly considering a move for Real Sociedad forward Willian Jose.

The Spanish giants have been strongly linked with Lyon's Memphis Depay as they look to sign a replacement for Luis Suarez, but the club could be priced out of a move for the Netherlands international.

According to Sport, Barca are now looking at Willian Jose as an option, with the 28-year-old likely to represent a cheaper alternative to Memphis.

The Brazilian, who was linked with both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in January, still has four years left to run on his current deal with Sociedad.

Willian Jose enjoyed a productive 2019-20 La Liga season, scoring 11 times, while he has netted 56 goals in 149 appearances for his current club since arriving in 2016.

The South American has a €69.5m (£64m) release clause in his current deal but could allegedly be available for around €30.4m (£28m) this summer.
