Alessandro Bastoni begins to tire of Barcelona uncertainty | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are set to strengthen their defense going into the upcoming summer transfer window, and for this purpose, they have a very clear target for the center-back position in mind, i.e., the Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni.

The Italian center-back has been linked with the Blaugranes very strongly in the last few weeks, and it seemed that things would fall in place for him to join the Catalan side.

However, there are some doubts emerging about such a signing now, as Barcelona have still not made a decision about him. Despite being one of the very top defenders in Europe, Flick would ideally prefer a center-back with high speed, as he would regularly have to track back quickly to avoid counters that are expected with the Blaugranes’ high defensive line.

Speed is not one of the strengths of the Italian player, and for this reason, the Catalans are monitoring some other alternatives as well. In this context, Mundo Deportivo reports that Bastoni is getting tired of waiting for an offer from Barcelona, and unless he enjoys full confidence of Flick, he would be happy to continue with his beloved Inter Milan.

It has been some time since terms were agreed between the Blaugrana club and the player, and he has been waiting since then for Barcelona to make a move so he can sit down with Inter to try to bring his price down. In fact, only a decision by Hansi Flick was left to start working on this operation.

However, first it was the UCL tie against Atletico Madrid that delayed the decision from the coach, and then the league race. The defender accepted the first period of waiting, but now wants Barcelona to make a move, as they have a very comfortable advantage at the top of the table.

Barcelona can clinch the La Liga title in their upcoming match against Real Madrid, and after that, it will be up to Hansi Flick to make a decision on whether his side should sign Alessandro Bastoni.
