Report – Inter Milan & Italy Superstar Agrees To Join Barcelona | OneFootball

Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni is reportedly keen to join La Liga powerhouse Barcelona at the end of the season.

According to Spanish outlet Chiringuito via FCInter1908, the Italian center-back has already agreed personal terms with the Blaugrana.

Widely regarded as one of Europe’s best defenders, Alessandro Bastoni has been the cornerstone of Inter’s success in recent years.

Indeed, the 26-year-old has nailed down a starting berth at San Siro as his own, helping the Nerazzurri win two Serie A titles in the last five years.

However, the former Atalanta man could cut ties with the 20-time Italian champions in the summer.

Seeking a pacey center-back to bolster Hansi Flick’s defensive options, Barcelona have set their sights on Bastoni.

Indeed, the Spaniards have identified the Nerazzurri stalwart as their top defensive target despite the player’s substantial price tag.

Aware of Barcelona’s genuine interest, Inter are reluctant to sanction Bastoni’s departure for less than €70 million.

Meanwhile, Barca’s financial woes are well-documented, meaning Inter’s demands could be a major stumbling block.

However, Flick’s side could try to use Bastoni’s alleged desire to move to Camp Nou as leverage in potential negotiations with the Italian club.
