Rumours linking Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni with a potential summer transfer to Barcelona continue to circulate, but reports in Italy and Spain suggest that the two clubs have a major difference in their valuation of the Italy international.

It has been a challenging few months on an individual level for Bastoni, who became a divisive figure in Italy after his antics in the Derby d’Italia between Inter and Juventus in February, and was then sent off in Italy’s World Cup play-off final defeat against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday night.

Meanwhile, there have been widespread reports linking the 26-year-old centre-back with a move away from San Siro this summer.

Recent reports claim that Barcelona have offered an initial fee in the region of €45m for Bastoni, which SportMediaset claims was swiftly turned away.

Updates from Calciomercato.com, however, claim that Inter will hold out for a fixed fee of €60m, potentially rising to €70m with bonuses and add-ons included. There have also been suggestions that Barcelona might find it difficult to satisfy Inter’s demands given their previous struggles to register players under Financial Fair Play rules.

In order to get around the €60m-€70m transfer fee that has been rumoured, there have also been suggestions that Barcelona could look to include one of their own players in an exchange deal with Inter.

Calciomercato suggests that Gerard Martin, Ferran Torres or potentially even Dani Olmo could be on the table.

Inter, meanwhile, are said to be interested in a move for Sassuolo’s Tarik Muharemovic in the event that Bastoni leaves this summer.
