Barcelona is targeting Atalanta full-back Marco Palestra as part of their summer transfer plans. The 21-year-old, who has impressed during his loan at Cagliari and earned an Italy cap, is also on Inter Milan's radar. Inter's interest may hinder Barcelona's attempts, especially as they navigate the futures of current full-backs Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde. If Inter secures Palestra, it may be connected to Denzel Dumfries moving to Real Madrid, complicating Barcelona's strategy. Any serious move for Palestra from Barcelona is likely contingent on resolving their full-back situation first.
