La Liga giants Barcelona will reportedly have to break the bank to sign Inter Milan superstar Alessandro Bastoni in the summer.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri have named their asking price amid the Blaugrana’s growing interest.
Bastoni’s career is at a crossroads, with the 26-year-old facing an uncertain future at San Siro after several incidents at the start of the year.
Indeed, the highly rated center-back has come under fire after his antics in February’s Derby d’Italia clash against Juventus.
Moreover, the situation went from bad to worse during the international break, as his expulsion against Bosnia contributed to Italy’s FIFA World Cup exit.
Inter Milan Set Alessandro Bastoni Price Tag Amid Barcelona Interest
Inter are reluctant to sell Alessandro Bastoni, but they will not stand in the player’s way if he asks for a transfer.
However, the Nerazzurri won’t let their long-serving star leave the club for less than €70 million.
According to Di Marzio, that figure is non-negotiable, even though Barcelona could try to drive the price down by including a counterpart in the deal.
Nevertheless, Inter won’t accept anything other than cash, knowing just how challenging it will be to replace Bastoni.
Meanwhile, Udinese’s Oumar Solet and Sassuolo’s Tarik Muharemovic are the leading candidates to fill the potential vacancy.
70 million? NEVER, Barca no need him. He is slow and Barca play high line.
Surely we can’t go into next season with a Serie B goalkeeper. Stankovic should be a backup to someone else.
We should stick with players already used to the league. So palestra and stankovic, his brother and dragusin, solet and maybe only bring a dribbler from another league.
The boy from modena will come home and probably stay. Two kids will get promoted. Probably cochi and bovo
Why would we do that when we can get players from stronger leagues? Theres plenty if good free transfer options so itd be silly to limit our option to just Serie A
Next season squad:
GK
Filip – Sommer – Di Gennaro
CB
Bisseck – Akanji – Bastoni – Solet – Gila
LB
Dima – Carlos
RB
Mingueza – Palestra/Porro/El Ouahdi
CM
Barella – Zielinski – Sucic – Stankovic – Schlager/Kone/Da Cunha/Fagioli
RW/LW/AM
Diouf – Luis – Harry Wilson – Brandt/Diaby/Schjelderup/Alajbegovic
CF
Lautaro – Bonny – Pio
Sale of Thuram, Frattesi, Martinez, Dumfries, Hakan, Pavard, Asllani, S.Esposito will generate 160+ mil, so any more sale won’t be necessary. Hopefully we see Bepe’s magic once again this summer.
You’ve listed a few interesting free agents there. Nice scouting work, buddy.
