The one condition Sidibe needs to agree to play for Barcelona

Signing a right-back is one of the big objectives for Barcelona in the transfer window. Sergi Roberto cannot fill Dani Alves' boots for that position and although Aleix Vidal earned a second chance he suffered a long-term injury. 

One of the options is Monaco's Djibril Sidibe. The Frenchman would move to Barcelona on one condition. 

"The risk of going to a big club is that they turn you into a reserve and you end up loaned out, it's tricky," he told RMC. 

"My criteria is to do with playing time. If a club, of the kind you can't reject, guarantees you playing time, I'd think about it."

Sidibe added that "any player wants to play against the best in the best leagues. I'm happy at Monaco in a good team. We're in the Champions League, scoring many goals and we can still win all competitions."
