Alessandro Bastoni, an essential defender for both Inter Milan and the Italian national team, has caught the attention of Deco, the current technical director at Barcelona, particularly during the Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona. Deco noted that Bastoni's playing style aligns well with Barcelona's tactical and stylistic demands for a defender capable of initiating play from the back while offering defensive reliability. As Barcelona anticipates the potential departure of Ronald Araujo in the upcoming summer transfer window, Bastoni has emerged as their top target to fill the void. With plans to move forward without Araujo, Barcelona views Bastoni's strong performances, leadership qualities, and technical prowess as making him an ideal candidate for the Catalan club.
