Overview
- Inter has indicated it would only discuss Alessandro Bastoni’s sale at €70–80 million, with his agent visiting the club’s headquarters recently, according to Italian reports.
- Barcelona has identified the left‑footed Italy international as its top summer target, and Catalan outlet Sport reports a €60 million base fee with a player included.
- Inter is cool on swap ideas and does not view La Masia prospects such as Gerard Martín as enough to cut the cash demand, and no formal bid has been confirmed.
- Bastoni is under contract until 2028, which strengthens Inter’s leverage, while Barcelona must fit any deal within LaLiga’s strict spending controls.
- The pursuit follows a February simulation that drew sustained boos from rival fans and comes as Bastoni focuses on recovering for Italy, with Liverpool and other Premier League teams also linked.
