FC Barcelona is beginning to plan for the upcoming summer transfer market, and their next target is clear: to sign Alessandro Bastoni, the Italian center-back from Inter Milan.

Barcelona's intention is to sign Bastoni in the summer of 2026, and they are preparing an offer of 80 million euros to convince Inter Milan.

He is the type of player that Barcelona likes the most to pair with Pau Cubarsí and form one of the best center-back duos in the world, as reported by El Nacional.

The Void Left by Íñigo Martínez

The departure of Íñigo Martínez to Arabian football forced Barcelona to rebuild its defense. His absence broke a partnership that had brought solidity to the team: the one he formed with Cubarsí, who now has had to play alongside teammates with different profiles.

Currently, Ronald Araújo occupies the left flank, a role that does not fully utilize his qualities. Andreas Christensen is also considered an option, but neither of them offers the natural profile that Hansi Flick is looking for to stabilize the defensive line.

Alessandro Bastoni, Deco's Chosen One

In this scenario, Alessandro Bastoni emerges as the top candidate. Established at Inter Milan, the Italian is considered one of the top left-footed defenders in Europe. At 26 years old, he has played over 200 games for the Lombard club and is a key figure in the Italian national team.

His ability to play out from the back, defend in open spaces, and organize the defensive line make him a perfect partner for a positional and technical center-back like Cubarsí. According to Italian media, Barcelona has already explored the deal, and Deco has him at the top of his list.

The major drawback is the cost. Bastoni is under contract with Inter until 2028, and his departure will not be straightforward. Barcelona believes that an investment of 80 million euros could convince the San Siro club, although the negotiation promises to be complex.

In the words of a Barcelona executive quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport: "If we want an elite left-footed center-back, we need to look at Bastoni. He's expensive, but he would mark an era alongside Cubarsí."

Barcelona's Future Defense

Although no more movements are expected in the short term, the sports management is already working with an eye on the 2026-27 season. The idea is to build a defense around Cubarsí, complemented by a top-level left-footed center-back.

With players like Eric García, Gerard Martín, and Koundé in rotation, the club believes it has enough depth until June, but the big bet will be Bastoni. His addition would give Barcelona the necessary balance to compete effectively in the Champions League.
