"The club are clear about their desire to sign a new striker who can replace Robert Lewandowski in the years to come. At the same time, Barcelona are also in dire need of a new centre-back. They have been linked with a move for Nico Schlotterbeck, but it seems the club are more than fine letting Real Madrid take the charge."
"Instead, the Barcelona sporting director is planning a move for Alessandro Bastoni, who has been heavily linked with a move to Catalonia as well. The report adds that Barcelona are actively trying to approach the Italian international, regarded as one of the best defenders in Serie A. Perhaps a more important piece of information is that Bastoni is apparently keen on joining Barcelona."
Barcelona want a new striker to replace Robert Lewandowski and simultaneously require a new centre-back. The sporting director Deco is prioritizing Alessandro Bastoni over Nico Schlotterbeck as the defensive reinforcement. Bastoni reportedly desires a move to Barcelona, but Inter Milan are reluctant to sell and can demand a high fee due to his long-term contract. Barcelona may consider selling current players to accommodate new signings. Agreement with Inter remains the principal obstacle, and it is unclear whether Bastoni will ultimately be part of Barcelona's transfer strategy.
