Report – Barcelona Consider Including Counterparts In A Deal To Sign €80M-Rated Inter Milan Center-Back | OneFootball

La Liga heavyweights Barcelona have reportedly developed a genuine interest in Inter Milan center-back Alessandro Bastoni.

According to Calciomercato, Los Blaugranas are considering including several counterparts to drive the Italian’s hefty price tag down.

Despite his indispensable status at the club, Alessandro Bastoni could part ways with the Nerazzurri this summer.

Indeed, the 26-year-old is reportedly open to leaving Serie A after gaining notoriety in the wake of February’s Derby d’Italia.

However, it will take a truly mind-blowing offer to get Inter to consider selling their long-serving stalwart.

Meanwhile, Barcelona won’t shy away from the challenge.

Barcelona to Include Counterparts in Deal to Sign Inter Milan Defender Alessandro Bastoni

Calciomercato’s report states that Inter won’t let the Italian superstar leave for anything less than €80 million.

On the other hand, Barcelona’s well-documented financial turmoil prevents the Catalan giants from matching that figure.

Still, Hansi Flick looks determined to bring Bastoni to Camp Nou.

Therefore, Barcelona are reportedly looking to include several counterparts to lower Inter’s asking price and sweeten the deal.

Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen are the men in question.

Indeed, it appears that the Spaniards believe this could help them bypass Inter’s prohibitive demands and land Bastoni in the summer.
