Barcelona could look to Chelsea star as Alessandro Bastoni transfer stalls | OneFootball

Alessandro Bastoni has been Barcelona’s number one transfer target for months. After the season, the Catalan club are finally looking to complete deals. The defender, however, is making Barcelona wait as he hasn’t told Inter his desire to leave. Sooner or later, the club of Joan Laporta could run out of patience and turn to Chelsea for a new defender.

As per a report from Sky Sports, Wesley Fofana is among the candidates for the free spot in Hansi Flick’s team. The player’s agents have already met with Barcelona’s sporting director Deco in order to talk about a possible transfer. Talking to the club legend, they revealed that Chelsea would be ready to sell the 25-year-old Frenchman in the upcoming transfer window for around €30m. Barcelona, however, would prefer a loan with an option to buy.

In the current season, Fofana played 34 times for Chelsea and is the central defender with the second most minutes after Trevoh Chalobah. Despite his role, the Blues would allow him to leave however, both clubs would need to negotiate many aspects to complete the transfer.
