Alessandro Bastoni Considers Barcelona Move as Inter Sets €70m Price
Italian international Alessandro Bastoni, a key defender for Inter Milan, is reportedly receptive to a potential transfer to Barcelona in the upcoming summer transfer window. While the player has indicated his willingness to consider a move to Camp Nou for the next season, formal discussions between the two clubs have not yet commenced.
Bastoni on Barcelona's Radar
Inter Milan is reportedly open to receiving offers for their highly-rated defender, although Barcelona has not made an official approach to the Serie A leaders. Bastoni has been a subject of transfer speculation linking him to Barcelona for several weeks. In February, Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsì praised Bastoni, calling him a "spectacular centre-back."
Barcelona is actively seeking a left-footed central defender with strong aerial presence for the next season, and Bastoni is reportedly their top priority. However, Inter Milan has set a significant asking price, indicating they will not negotiate a sale for less than €70 million.
The 26-year-old Bastoni has showcased his all-around ability this season, contributing with two goals and six assists across 35 appearances for Inter.
