Barcelona have Bastoni transfer hope despite high Inter price tag | OneFootball

According to Tuttosport, the hostile reception Alessandro Bastoni receives at Italian stadiums could encourage the Italy international to consider a move to Barcelona, though Inter are unwilling to sell the defender for less than €70m.

Inter are unwilling to sell their star defender Bastoni even if the Nerazzurri could be tempted by offers in the region of €70m, reports Tuttosport (via FCInter1908).

The Italian newspaper claims that neither the Serie A giants nor their defender are currently considering a summer split, but this doesn’t mean Barcelona are without hope.

Inter, in fact, might sit down for offers worth €70m, while Bastoni could be tempted to leave at the end of the season, especially after the hostile welcome he has received in Italian stadiums over the last few weeks.

Fans across Italy are still targeting the Italy international following an incident that led to a red card for Pierre Kalulu in a Serie A match between Inter and Juventus in February.

Tuttosport quotes Spanish sources saying that Barcelona director Deco has already met the player’s entourage.

Over the last few weeks, speculation over a possible Bastoni move to Barcelona has intensified. Back in February, even the Catalans’ defender Pau Cubarsí praised the Italian star.

Bastoni’s Inter contract runs out in June 2028.
