Inter Milan Vs Cagliari – Italy Superstar Sidelined For Friday Clash Amid Intense Barcelona Rumors | OneFootball

Inter Milan center-back Alessandro Bastoni won’t be in contention for the squad when the Nerazzurri face Cagliari on Friday night.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, this latest omission can only fuel Barcelona’s hopes of signing the Italian star.

Alessandro Bastoni could be counting his final days at San Siro.

Indeed, the 26-year-old defender’s career in Serie A has hit rock-bottom after a series of unfortunate events at the start of 2026.

Continuous boos at domestic stadiums have caught up with the former Atalanta man, whose form has taken a dramatic downturn.

Moreover, Cristian Chivu had to replace his starting center-back at halftime against Como last weekend to protect the player from insults.

Though Bastoni still enjoys full support from the San Siro faithful, his situation in Serie A has become almost unbearable.

Therefore, the player could decide to leave his homeland in the summer, with Barcelona waiting in the wings.

Furthermore, he won’t be at Chivu’s disposal tomorrow, allegedly due to a minor fitness issue.

However, his absence is unlikely to silence the growing speculation surrounding his future.

Meanwhile, Los Blaugranas continue to follow the situation closely ahead of the summer transfer window.
