Report – Barcelona Keen On Inter Milan & Italy Star Defender | OneFootball

La Liga pacesetters Barcelona have reportedly set their sights on Inter Milan stalwart Alessandro Bastoni.

According to Chiringuito journalist Jose Alvarez via FCInter1908, Los Blaugranas are ready to submit an offer in the summer.

However, the Camp Nou outfit’s well-documented financial turmoil has prevented them from opening talks with Inter.

After making some progress on their finances, Hansi Flick’s side may ramp up their pursuit of Bastoni this summer.

Barcelona failed to replace Inigo Martinez, who left the club last summer.

Furthermore, Flick’s high defensive line requires a fast, athletic center-back.

Meanwhile, Bastoni perfectly fits the bill, although Inter won’t be enthusiastic about discussing the sale of their best defender.

Indeed, the Italian star has been a crucial part of Cristian Chivu’s backline this season.

Furthermore, the 26-year-old’s contract at San Siro runs out in 2028.
