Barcelona are preparing a major defensive move for the January transfer window, with sporting director Deco actively contacting agents as the club look to sign a left-footed centre-back. 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.

Barcelona are preparing a major defensive overhaul for the January transfer window, with a shortlist featuring Alessandro Bastoni, Joško Gvardiol, Natan and Lisandro Martínez, plus a potential move for Pedro Porro at right-back. After consecutive defeats to PSG and Real Madrid exposed gaps at the back, Deco and Hansi Flick are pushing for an experienced centre-back who can make an immediate impact, with Gvardiol seen as the “dream” signing but Bastoni and Martínez viewed as more realistic options depending on finances. To fund any deal, Barcelona are open to selling Alejandro Balde, who has accepted he needs to leave for regular game time, with Manchester United, Liverpool and AC Milan all circling and the club demanding at least €40–45m, while Jules Koundé remains a possible sale if a big offer arrives. This video breaks down the full plan: who Barcelona want, how much each target would cost (Natan around €30m, Porro €70m), why Balde and/or Koundé could leave, and how the club’s tight salary cap and limited January budget (just €3–4m) mean sales must come first before any signing can happen.
