Barcelona have ‘practically reached’ an agreement on personal terms with top target

It is no secret that FC Barcelona are gunning for the signing of a new left-sided centre-back in the summer transfer window.

It is also well-established at this point that Alessandro Bastoni has emerged as their preferred target to bolster the position, as they look to fully fill the void left by Inigo Martinez’s departure last summer.

Personal terms agreed

Now, according to Carlos Monfort of SPORT, Barcelona have ‘practically reached’ an agreement over personal terms with Bastoni. What now remains is for them to strike a deal with Inter Milan for his signing.

This comes after reports in Italy earlier this week had suggested that a preliminary agreement over a five-year deal until 2031 had been settled between the Blaugrana and the defender.

In recent months, different profiles have also been assessed to strengthen the centre of defence in order to have alternative plans in place.
