Barcelona Step Up Bastoni Pursuit as Inter Scout Replacements

Spanish reports put Inter’s price near €70 million, with Barcelona weighing structured bids.

Overview

  • Barcelona have made a left‑footed, ball‑playing centre‑back a priority and identified Alessandro Bastoni as their preferred option.
  • Inter are already assessing replacements, with Alessandro Buongiorno, Evan Ndicka and Jhon Lucumì on a reported shortlist.
  • The Milan club are said to be open to a sale at around €70 million, a figure Barcelona believe could be lowered through negotiation.
  • Barcelona plan to push talks from April and aim to avoid a bidding war, seeking a clear signal from the player about his destination.
  • Early contact with Bastoni’s representatives drew a positive response, but no formal offers or club confirmations have been announced.
