Overview
- Inter have begun sounding out replacements for Bastoni, with Alessandro Buongiorno, Evan Ndicka and Jhon Lucumí among the names scouted.
- Reports place Inter’s benchmark valuation at about €70 million, though Barcelona believe structured terms could bring the effective price down.
- Barcelona made initial contact with the player’s camp earlier in the season and intend to escalate formal negotiations from April, with no bid or agreement yet.
- Deco and Hansi Flick view a left‑footed, ball‑playing centre‑back as a priority for next season, and Bastoni is the preferred target for that role.
- Separate coverage notes rival interest and even a potential Inter renewal push, underscoring that the situation and valuations remain subject to negotiation.
