Pau Cubarsi, the young Barcelona defender and Spain international, recently spoke about the connection between Barcelona and Serie A clubs ahead of Spain's international friendlies against Serbia and Egypt. When asked about Inter Milan's Alessandro Bastoni, a key target for Barcelona’s defensive reinforcement, Cubarsi revealed a friendly relationship.
He confirmed that he and Bastoni follow each other on Instagram, highlighting professional respect due to their shared experience on the field. However, Cubarsi refrained from commenting on any transfer speculations involving Bastoni.
Barcelona is keen on signing Bastoni as part of their plans for summer 2026 to strengthen their backline. Sporting director Deco has already engaged in talks with Inter Milan, although negotiations are expected to be challenging. Should the deal happen, Bastoni would likely partner with Cubarsi, effectively succeeding Inigo Martinez in the squad.
Cubarsi’s remarks offer a glimpse into the personal and club-level relationships that underline Barcelona’s efforts to deepen their linkages with top Serie A clubs. This mutual monitoring and interest in Serie A stars reflect Barcelona's forward-looking approach to squad strengthening.
