Pau Cubarsí has addressed the growing speculation linking Alessandro Bastoni with a potential move to FC Barcelona, offering a calm and measured response amid the transfer buzz.
Speaking to RAC1, the young Barcelona defender downplayed the rumors, suggesting the club is already well-equipped in the centre-back department. “Bastoni? I think we are good at centre-backs. We’re not talking about players who aren’t here,” Cubarsí said, subtly shifting focus back to the current squad.
Despite his dismissal of the speculation, Cubarsí did acknowledge a personal connection with the Inter Milan defender. “We follow each other on Instagram for having shared the field together and because we’re colleagues in the profession,” he added, highlighting the mutual respect between the two defenders.
Reports from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano have indicated that Barcelona are indeed monitoring Bastoni as a potential defensive reinforcement ahead of the summer window. The Italian international has been a key figure for Inter and is widely regarded as one of Europe’s top ball-playing centre-backs.
