Overview
- Barcelona have made a left‑footed, ball‑playing centre‑back a priority and identified Alessandro Bastoni as their preferred option.
- Inter are already assessing replacements, with Alessandro Buongiorno, Evan Ndicka and Jhon Lucumì on a reported shortlist.
- The Milan club are said to be open to a sale at around €70 million, a figure Barcelona believe could be lowered through negotiation.
