Overview
- Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio, speaking Monday, said Alessandro Bastoni is under contract and told interested clubs to contact Inter directly rather than talk through the media.
- Reports say Barcelona have discussed a five‑year deal to 2031 with Bastoni’s camp and the defender is willing to adjust his wages, though any move still awaits Hansi Flick’s approval.
- No club‑to‑club agreement exists, and Inter’s price is reported at about €70–80 million, so Barcelona are exploring player‑plus‑cash proposals after an earlier approach was turned down.
- Coverage in Spain and Italy says Inter could consider Héctor Fort in a package, but the 19‑year‑old has been medically cleared after shoulder surgery and wants to stay at Barcelona.
- Multiple outlets report Bastoni would either remain at Inter or join Barcelona, and Liverpool have been told he is not an option for them this summer.
