Barcelona Step Up Bastoni Pursuit as Inter Weigh Big Offers, Liverpool Monitor

Fresh reporting points to Inter being open to sizeable bids, with Barcelona stepping up contact.

Overview

  • Gazzetta dello Sport reports Inter would listen to proposals for Alessandro Bastoni this summer, with guides ranging from more than €70m to figures near €100m cited across outlets.
  • Barcelona are described as confident after sporting director Deco held preliminary talks with Bastoni’s agent, though any move could hinge on finances and the club’s presidential election outcome.
  • Liverpool see Bastoni as a potential long‑term successor to Virgil van Dijk, but multiple reports say Inter would only engage at bids in excess of about £80m and the Reds are also assessing Micky van de Ven.
  • Contrasting briefings persist as other reports indicate Inter are preparing to discuss a new contract through 2030 and that the player is content at San Siro, with no formal offers confirmed.
  • Bastoni is undergoing medical checks following a derby contusion and hematoma, placing his short‑term availability in doubt ahead of Inter’s next league match.
