At FC Barcelona, they are already preparing for a possible change in the defensive axis. If Ronald Araujo leaves this summer, the club is clear about who they want as the heir to the defensive leadership: Alessandro Bastoni. The sports management, led by Deco, has set its sights on the center-back from Inter Milan, convinced that his profile fits what the team needs if they lose one of their current pillars.

The future of the Uruguayan continues to be uncertain, and although he has been a key figure in recent seasons, his recent performance against Inter raised many doubts. In that same match, Bastoni shone brightly. His performance in both games, especially in the decisive phase, impressed the Barcelona sports officials, who took note of his presence, control, and leadership.

Barcelona Wants to Sign Alessandro Bastoni

At 26 years old, the Italian international is experiencing a moment of football maturity that makes him an ideal option to strengthen a defensive line in full reconstruction. Furthermore, his ability to start plays from behind and his tactical versatility make him attractive to Hansi Flick, who has already given the green light to his possible arrival.

However, bringing him to Barcelona will not be easy. Inter has no intention of negotiating easily for one of the pillars of their defense, and his contract until 2028 gives them a strong position. Only a high sale of Araujo could allow Barcelona to make a convincing proposal.

In the meantime, Deco maintains an active strategy. The stage is set: if the door opens for Araujo's departure, Bastoni will be the priority on the Barcelona agenda. The challenge will be turning that idea into reality.
