The defender is excited over the possibility of joining the Catalans this summer, and is keen on a potential transfer.
Although a total agreement is yet to be found between the two parties, Barça are confident personal terms won’t be an issue and that they’ll be able to match the defender’s demands.
In addition to that, there is full consensus around Bastoni’s signing, as Hansi Flick has great admiration for the player, according to Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenburg.
Sporting director Deco is the main individual within the club’s hierarchy who’s driving FC Barcelona’s interest in the talented, left-footed center-back.

If one thing has become clear, it’s the seriousness of Barça in getting a deal done for Pau Cubarsi‘s potential long-term partner.
Despite being in the latter stages of the season, the club is already making progress in squad planning for the upcoming 2026/2027 campaign.
