Media reports claim that Barcelona are keeping tabs on Alessandro Bastoni, who currently plays as a defender for Inter. The move is still in the early stages, but interest appears to be growing. Barcelona remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Man Utd, Arsenal and Tottenham continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Barcelona's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.96 goals per game (26 in 27). Alessandro Bastoni would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Inter continue to be linked with Leon Goretzka, Ibrahima Konate and Curtis Jones while Barcelona are also rumoured to be tracking Julian Brandt, Luka Vuskovic and Gabriel Martinelli.
