Report – Barcelona Plan To Include Spain Superstar To Drive Alessandro Bastoni Price Tag Down | OneFootball

Dani Olmo could be the key to unlock negotiations between Barcelona and Inter Milan over the transfer of Alessandro Bastoni. 

According to El Nacional via FCInter1908, the Catalan giants are looking to use the Spaniard as a makeweight in the deal to sign the Italian center-back.

It appears that Barcelona will do everything to take Alessandro Bastoni away from Serie A this summer.

Indeed, Los Blaugranas have placed the 26-year-old at the top of their shopping list ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

Furthermore, they are already devising a plan to lower Inter’s substantial €80 million asking price.

Barcelona to Offer Dani Olmo in Deal to Player + Cash Swap Deal to Sign Alessandro Bastoni

Barcelona’s financial turmoil is well-documented. Therefore, the Catalan powerhouse cannot afford to match Inter’s demands.

However, they’re hoping to drive Bastoni’s price down by offering Dani Olmo as a counterpart in what would be a huge swap deal.

Olmo has been a bit-part player in Hansi Flick’s system, making 16 La Liga starts.

Still, his output has been impressive for a midfield. Indeed, the 27-year-old has netted seven goals and provided six assists in 24 league appearances.

With Inter searching for a player of Olmo’s characteristics, the San Siro giants may find this proposal attractive.
