Barcelona target Gvardiol and Bastoni!
Barcelona, who are looking to add a star stopper for next season, have Manchester City's Gvardiol and Inter's Bastoni on their agenda.
Barcelona have already started their transfer planning for next season and have set their course to strengthen the center of defense. With Ronald Araujo's health problems and the non-renewal of Andreas Christensen's contract, which expires in 2026, the club is looking to add a "star" to the defense.

According to Mundo Deportivo, there are two giants on Barça's list that stand out the most and can meet the club's defensive needs for 4-5 years:
JOSKO GVARDIOL
Manchester City's Croatian star. The possibility of Pep Guardiola's departure at the end of the season could strengthen Barça's hand for this transfer.
ALESSANDRO BASTONI
Inter Milan's experienced stopper. For Bastoni, Inter are demanding a very high fee. This transfer seems more difficult than the Gvardiol transfer.
Both players' contracts expire in 2028. Barcelona management are planning to make an official move for these players next summer by overcoming the "financial fair play" hurdles. Their market values are in the €70 to €80 million range.

The club is also tracking the likes of Schlotterbeck (Dortmund) and Pau Torres (Aston Villa), but Gvardiol and Bastoni are currently at the top of the list.
