Barcelona Nears Deal for Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni
Barcelona is reportedly close to reaching a practically agreement on personal terms with Inter Milan defender, Alessandro Bastoni. According to “Diario Sport,” the Catalan club has identified Bastoni as a primary target to bolster its left defensive flank, following the departure of Inigo Martinez. The proposed deal outlines a five-year contract, set to expire in 2031, and reflects the strong interest from both the player and Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco.
Deco has long been an advocate for Bastoni’s acquisition. Negotiations are progressing, though a significant hurdle remains: Inter Milan’s valuation of the defender. The Italian club is anticipated to seek approximately €70 million for Bastoni’s transfer.
Barcelona is exploring strategies to mitigate this cost, including the potential involvement of young players currently under contract with the club. The player’s desire to join Barcelona is a key factor in the ongoing discussions. Further details regarding the finalized terms are expected to be announced in the coming days.
