"One of the main objectives for FC Barcelona in the summer transfer window later this year is to strengthen the centre-back position. The Blaugrana are particularly looking for a left-footed centre-back with good ball-playing abilities to fill the void left by Inigo Martinez's departure last summer. Alessandro Bastoni of Inter Milan, to that end, has been identified as the key target, the 'chosen one' by the reigning La Liga champions."
"However, Moretto also pointed out that there are no negotiations between Barcelona and Inter at this point, and everything will depend on the club's financial situation when the summer window comes around. The report further states that Bastoni's price tag is expected to be in the range of €70-80 million, and that the centre-back is already negotiating a new contract with Inter Milan, a club he identifies with strongly."
FC Barcelona intends to reinforce the centre-back position with a left-footed, ball-playing defender to replace Iñigo Martínez. Alessandro Bastoni of Inter Milan has been identified as the primary target given his reputation as one of Europe's best in the role. No negotiations have started between Barcelona and Inter, and any transfer will depend on Barcelona's financial situation ahead of the summer window. Bastoni's transfer value is estimated at €70–80 million, and he is negotiating a new contract with Inter, which complicates a move. More affordable alternatives such as Nico Schlotterbeck are also being monitored.
