According to Greek journalist Sotiris Vetakis<\/a>, Barcelona is in a strong position to land Alpha Diallo for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

It would be a major signing for the Blaugrana, as the forward is widely regarded as one of the best players at his position in Europe and was recently named EuroLeague Best Defender.<\/p>\n
