The shortlist includes Alessandro Bastoni, Lisandro Martínez and Piero Hincapié, with Bastoni seen as the priority target but Inter valuing him at €70m, while Martínez could be available for a reduced fee as he enters the final year of his Manchester United contract, and Hincapié is being explored on a six-month loan with option to buy. This video breaks down the full plan: why Barcelona need a defender now after injuries to Christensen and Koundé, how Deco’s agent contacts are progressing (with Bastoni’s camp open but demanding guarantees from Flick), the financial constraints (only €3–4m salary margin available), and whether a swap deal involving Balde could unlock a move for Hincapié.</p>","author_name":"BarcaBoy"}
