Wanting to strengthen in defense, a fairly failing sector this season, FC Barcelona has notably identified Alessandro Bastoni, Inter Milan player as a priority. However, the price asked by Inter Milan for their 26-year-old player is much higher than the amount of 45 million euros that the Catalan club intends to pay.
According to Il Resto del CarlinoBologna’s Colombian defender Jhon Lucumi (27) is considered a cheaper option. Followed by English and Turkish clubs, the player only has one year left on his contract and his situation allows a transfer at a lower price. In April 2025, two emissaries from the Catalan club had already observed the player and informal contacts with his representatives were held.
