The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that FC Barcelona continues to work on the team's future, and scouting emerging talents is part of the club's strategy. A Barcelona scout attended the match between Cagliari and Napoli two weeks ago to observe the Italian player Marco Palestra.

Balestra is 21 years old, right-footed, and can play as a full-back, inside winger, or advanced winger. He has represented the Italian national team twice at the senior level.

He is currently playing on loan from Atalanta to Cagliari until June 30, and he is attracting significant attention in Italy, especially from clubs like Inter Milan, which estimated the possibility of signing him at 35 million euros after Liverpool's offer of 20 million euros was rejected.

During the current season, Balestra played 29 matches, scoring one goal and providing four assists, reflecting his ability to combine defensive and offensive performance, making him a potential target to strengthen Barcelona's right side in the near future.
