Alessandro Bastoni is being strongly-linked to FC Barcelona, as is former La Masia pupil Alejandro Grimaldo.
Born and raised just 20 kilometres from the city, Pol Ferré is a Journalism graduate from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and is currently working in production on the daily 'La Ciutat' program broadcasted by one of Spain's biggest radio stations, Onda Cero. He grew up deeply connected to football and, especially, to FC Barcelona. From a very young age, he developed a strong sense of belonging to the Blaugrana club, becoming what is popularly known as a 'Culer'. To Pol, Barça is not just a football team, but also an important part of his cultural and emotional identity as a Catalan.

He is regularly found at home matches in the Spotify Camp Nou, or on a members-only coach heading to away fixtures.
