Inter Milan eye summer move for Barcelona captain – key to unlocking Bastoni transfer? According to Corriere dello Sport (h/t SPORT ), Inter Milan are highly interested in FC Barcelona captain and defender Ronald Araujo as one of their priority targets for the summer. Having just completed a domestic double in Italy, the Nerazzurri are now determined to finally make a serious push for the UEFA Champions League next season.

The Italian giants are therefore planning an ambitious transfer window, one that will likely also require player sales, and strengthening the defence with a major signing is among their top priorities. Araujo emerges as a key target As such, Araujo has emerged as one of Inter Milan’s main targets to reinforce the backline next season, along with Luka Vuskovic of Tottenham Hotspur.

The Uruguayan defender’s agent has strong connections with the Italian heavyweights and has completed several major deals with the club in recent years. Key to unlocking Bastoni transfer?

The main question now is whether Araujo could potentially become part of a deal involving Alessandro Bastoni, whose transfer to Barcelona has cooled in recent weeks because of Inter’s high financial demands. The reality is that Barça are searching for a left-footed central defender, as they already have an excess of right-footed options, and Bastoni remains highly appreciated by the club. The biggest obstacle is Inter’s valuation of the defender, which exceeds €60 million.
