Inter Milan are on the lookout for defensive recruitment and have set their sight on three Barcelona defenders for the summer transfer window.
Before the start of the 2023–24 season, Barcelona had eight centre-backs. The likes of Samuel Umtiti and Clement Lenglet, who will finish their respective loan terms, are also included.
However, the team's first-choice defensive pairing is rotated between Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde, and Andreas Christensen but Xavi frequently chooses to play Marcos Alonso in central defence as well.

Dani Olmo keen to join Barcelona
Dani Olmo has been on the radar of Manchester United and Real Madrid but the Spanish midfielder is looking at the possibility of joining Barcelona.
According to a Mundo Deportivo source, Inter Milan are keeping an eye on Andreas Christensen, Samuel Umtiti, and Marcos Alonso.
This season, the Frenchman has taken steps to revitalise his Serie A career by playing on loan for Lecce. His performance has drawn interest from a few clubs.
Christensen untouchable at Barcelona
In Barcelona, Christensen is regarded as one of Xavi's favourites in his back-four and has given the Danish international a starting berth. Despite the prospect of significant offers in the summer, it is not anticipated that he would depart.

Liverpool turn attention to €50m rated Serie A star but face competition from Chelsea
Liverpool are preparing for a summer of heightened transfer activity and the Reds have identified a potential target for the summer.
Alonso's departure also looks unlikely, barring Inter putting a compelling offer. The veteran defender is obviously a favourite of Xavi's because he has put him above Eric Garcia in the centre-back ranking.
