Names like **Nico Schlotterbeck** or **Alessandro Bastoni** have been mentioned in recent weeks to reinforce the Bar\u00e7a defense.<\/p>  <p>However, the club would only go for a defender of that caliber next summer or, failing that, if Ronald Araujo finally decided to leave in the next transfer window. The latter scenario is not currently contemplated. The &#8216;4&#8217; renewed until 2031 and has the full support of the board, the coaching staff, and the locker room to regain confidence.<\/p>  <p>Thus, if Bar\u00e7a were to decide to bring in another center-back in January, the objective would be a &#8216;low cost&#8217; option, preferably through a loan without a mandatory purchase option.
