Barcelona is pursuing a new central defender, with Inter’s Alessandro Bastoni as their primary target. However, concerns over his asking price, which could reach €100m, have led the club to explore alternatives such as Pau Torres and Nico Schlotterbeck. Torres, with La Liga experience, may be difficult to negotiate for due to Aston Villa’s valuation, while Schlotterbeck faces competition from Real Madrid. Barcelona’s spending capacity will hinge on compliance with La Liga’s financial regulations before the transfer window opens.
