According to Sport, Barcelona could complete the sale of Ferran Torres and the signing of Rodri this week, while also considering strengthening their defense.
Barcelona had identified Lukeba and Bastoni as key targets for center-back early in this transfer window. Deco and Flick both admire the player, and he was also one of the key targets besides Romero, though Romero will ultimately join Atletico Madrid. Lukeba is one of the most promising center-backs in European football, having already been called up to the French national team and performing exceptionally well in the Bundesliga.
Currently, Barcelona's top priority is to finalize Cancelo's arrival as soon as possible to strengthen the full-back position. This is a strategic goal for the club, but Araujo's departure has also left a void at center-back. Barcelona had previously been looking for cheaper options, but if Kounde ultimately leaves, they will turn their attention to a top center-back, and that certainly won't be Bastoni, as Flick had previously ruled him out.
The German coach knows Lukeba very well. The left-footed center-back is very attractive, and several Premier League clubs had previously made offers for him, but he did not leave. Lukeba's value exceeds 30 million euros, but if a club like Barcelona makes a move, he would be willing to leave. According to this news, Barcelona has inquired about the availability and price of this center-back. In the current transfer market, it is becoming increasingly difficult to poach players from important clubs.
Another name Barcelona has put on the table is Laporte. His team has reportedly offered him to Barcelona for a fixed release clause amount, and he is willing to leave Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona does not want to get into any trouble and will only move forward with this deal if the contract terms are completely clear, as the relationship between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao is not ideal after the Nico Williams incident.

This is rumors, so do not be surprise when you heard barca links to all left footed defenders cuz aroujo open the doors for new signing and barca desperately needed an experience centre back, cuz all this journalist new with exception of cubarsi and eric the rest of barca centre back defenders are all garbage in UCL crucial matches even these 2 reliable duo make some mistakes. The only centre back that is link to barca now and seems to be true is Natan cuz his agent declared it but barca only happened to made a contact with his team not his camp,

Not good at all, he’s too slow, and cannot be sign cheap cuz he’s market value is around €50m, so do not be surprise if the deal come close to €70-75m, if its true that flick rule bastoni out because he’s not fast and the figures are inter demanding are high, then there’s no reason they’ll consider lukeba. Natan is way better than him and fit perfectly with quick recovery
