Eder Alvarez Balanta hopeful of joining Barcelona

River Plate defender Eder Alvarez Balanta admits that he is eager to join Barcelona in the future.

River Plate defender Eder Alvarez Balanta has admitted that it would be a "dream" to complete a transfer to Barcelona.

The Spanish club have been linked with a move for the 21-year-old as they consider potential replacements for Carles Puyol, who confirmed earlier this week that he will be ending his long-term association with the Catalan giants.

"I haven't received any proposal but of course I would very much like to continue my career in such an important team," Balanta told Sport.

"I wish that they want me. I would have a big dream of playing at Barcelona."

Balanta made his debut for Colombia in the draw against Tunisia on Wednesday.
