Barcelona are increasingly confident they can secure a deal for Alessandro Bastoni this summer, with both sporting director Deco and head coach Hansi Flick convinced the Inter Milan and Italy defender would be an immediate upgrade, despite the Nerazzurri’s eye-watering valuation of over €80 million.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, via FCInter1908, Barcelona view Bastoni as a top priority and are approaching negotiations with quiet optimism.
Deco met with the player’s representatives earlier this year to gauge his openness to a move to the Camp Nou.
That conversation went well.
Barcelona now believe Bastoni is receptive to their interest, particularly given the uncomfortable atmosphere that has surrounded him in Italy following the Inter-Juventus controversy.
Barcelona Ready To Test Inter Resolve Over Bastoni
Sport are direct in their assessment of his situation.
“The tension is palpable and Bastoni does not feel at ease in Italy,” they write, adding that this discomfort could accelerate his departure as early as June.
Barcelona have a clear roadmap and believe a deal with Inter is possible, though they know the path will not be straightforward.
The sticking point is financial.
Inter value Bastoni at above €80 million, a fee Barcelona would need to negotiate down.
Their ability to do so depends largely on the player’s own involvement, if Bastoni pushes for the move after receiving an offer from the Catalans, Inter’s negotiating position weakens considerably.
The club will also present him with a contract renewal in the coming months, adding another dimension to what could become a defining transfer saga of the summer window.
Bastoni is not an average players if all our players are bad we should sell them. Stupid meticulous fans.
He’s a good offensive defensive player with great ball control but an average defender. So for Barca he will fit well since they attack more often than defend. I don’t think Inter will sell him for cheap because the alternative are worse like Augusto who’ve very average compared to Bastoni
barca is shit, they dont have money.
they probably will try to fool us by offering 35 million
Sell him he’s average at best.
He worse than grandpa Acerbi.
u Old Lol
Yes Bastoni is hated in Italy even among Inter fans but there’s no doubt he among the best players in the league. Same as many Inter fans who thinks Lautaro is terrible but the guy have numbers to rival any top attacker in serie a best attackers. Basically just like you haters will always hate to make their own miserable lives a little bit more tolerable
92m and he can go. Must be paid all at once. Barca doesn’t have the money anyway so…..
Left footed and technical – rate for a defender. Easily 120. But he’ll never leave. Those whistles from the crowd are all tubentinas. An aspect the media forgets is that he wants his child to grow in Italy and he wants to be close to his parents. So dream on bursa. Bankrupt club with fake values. Forza Inter. Sandro should wear the armband vs mulan
I meant Rare for a defender
If he cant play 4 back we should just let him go. Sick of him making miss passes and wasting time with the ball when he should quickly pass to the midfielders. He thinks hes the midfielder.
You siad this thing with 4 at the back 7383838 times now. We all understood it the first few times you kept telling.
It’s OK that you are so convinced and you stick to your opinion…as you keep repeating it again and again and again, over and over. As you are so convinced with 4 at the back others are with 3 or 5 at the back, because is OK to have different opinions…at least some of us here still belive that…or maybe it’s just me that still thinks this.
If Bastoni is the real Inter defence problem than just call Marotta and tell him to sell Bastoni and the defence will be perfect…sell Barella, as he is having a bad season, sell Lautaro because he cannot score every game (or in big games in UCL this season), don’t buy Akanji as he made a terrible mistake in Bodo game, get half the team out, sell them all. Like in Fifa game (FC26 or what it’s called these days) and it all will be perfect.
Do you have bad days at your work? Is everything perfect all the time? Do you ever make mistakes? Hae many footballers were perfect on this planet? Do defenders miss some passes in games? Of course…we all make mistakes.
Is everything is so damn dark, than all team should have been changed after the final with PSG and maybe…some fans too…
Very Good!!
Italy and Inter will concede more goals with shitty Bastoni.He is as bad as Lorenzo.
F*ck Juventus and all shitty Juve fans! Merda!!!
You tell ’em bro. What a bunch of negative crybabies. Maybe they have had enough spaghetti this season. Luciano is good enough for top 4 only. Top 6 with rubentina. Cause they are special. I cant remember inter crying for weeks after rubiot played with his hand and rube won 1-0. Or when cuadrado kicked ivan and got a penalty for it.
Anyway…once var came – rube cant catch a break. Who would have thought.
Watch yourself coward, I hope you get knocked out on the street by immigrants.
