Barcelona, May 11, 2025 – A surprising news has shaken the signing market: FC Barcelona has put its eyes in Alessandro Bastoni, the talented central of Inter Milan, as a possible substitute for Ronald Araujo. According to recent reports, the Blaugrana club is evaluating options to reinforce its defensive line, and the 26 -year -old Italian has become a priority objective.
Ronald Araujo, an indisputable pillar of the culé defense in recent seasons, has been subject to speculation about its future due to club interests such as Manchester United and Bayern Munich. Although the Uruguayan remains a key piece for Hansi Flick, the Barcelona directive would be exploring high -level alternatives to guarantee defensive strength in case of a possible exit. This is where Bastoni enters, whose technical quality and elite experience make him an ideal candidate.
Bastoni, known for his ability to distribute the ball from the defense and his solidity in one, has been one of the Inter stars in recent years. His contribution to the title of series A and his role in the Italian team have drawn the attention of several European giants. However, Barcelona seems determined to lead the race for its signing, taking advantage of its attractive sports project under the direction of Flick.
Sources close to the club indicate that negotiations are still in a preliminary phase, but Barcelona would be willing to offer a significant sum to convince Inter, which will not make its star out easily. In addition, the Bastoni contract, which extends until 2028, could complicate things, raising the cost of operation. Despite these obstacles, the possibility of seeing Italian at Camp Nou has generated enthusiasm among Culés fans.
While the signing market continues to develop, the interest of Barcelona in Bastoni marks a strategic movement to strengthen defense. Is this the beginning of a new era in the Blaugrana rear? The coming months will be key to knowing the outcome of this operation that promises to give much to talk about.
