Where’s Alessandro Bastoni heading?
The Index reckons Bastoni stays put.
The question: where will Bastoni be registered when calls close on 1 Feb, 23:00 (UK)?
A January 2027 window transfer: the window opens 1 January. Calls made now count in full: you’re scored on how well you beat the Index while you held your view, so calling months ahead is neither penalised nor padded.

How likely is Bastoni to join Barcelona?
Drag to make your call. The Index says 18%.
Why 18%?
The Index reckons Bastoni stays (58%). Barcelona are still in the hunt at 18%. There’s not much to go on yet, so treat it as a ballpark.
The Index’s official wording, as recorded
The Index makes staying the most likely outcome at 58%. Barcelona remain a live alternative at 18%. Evidence is thin, so treat this as a range rather than a firm number.
