Pescara is pursuing Federico Barba, though a deal is currently stalled due to the financial demands of his Indonesian club, Persib. The 32-year-old Italian center-back is reportedly eager to return to Europe after about six months in Indonesia and is pushing to be released from his contract. The Greek club Aris is also reported to be in contact with the player. Barba joined Persib in August 2025, and his contract runs until May 2026. In the current Super League season, he has made 10 appearances, scoring 3 goals. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €500k, and his last transfer involving a fee was a reported €600,000 move to Como in August 2023.
