Report – Huge Gap Between Barcelona’s Offer & Inter Milan’s Asking Price For Italy Superstar | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona have earmarked Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni as their top defensive target ahead of the summer.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio via FCInterNews, Los Blaugranas must overcome a significant valuation gap to strike a deal with the Nerazzurri.

Hansi Flick reportedly views Alessandro Bastoni as an upgrade on his current defensive options.

Furthermore, the recent chain of events has boosted Barcelona’s hopes of luring the 26-year-old center-back away from San Siro.

Indeed, the former Atalanta man has fallen out of favor with Serie A fans after making a costly mistake in Italy’s decisive FIFA World Cup qualifier.

However, Inter have no interest in offloading their long-serving stalwart.

Substantial Gap Between Barcelona Offer & Inter Milan Asking Price for Bastoni

Barca’s financial problems are well-documented, yet the Camp Nou giants are confident of signing the Italian defender.

Still, they would likely have to break the bank to convince Inter to sell their defensive mainstay.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri seem reluctant to budge on their €70 million valuation of Bastoni, with Barcelona looking for a discount.

The runaway La Liga leaders would ideally shell out €40 million to complete the transfer.

However, that’s unlikely to persuade the Serie A powerhouse to sanction a deal.
