Inter had rejected Barcelona’s opening proposal for Alessandro Bastoni, as reported by Gazeta Express on April 3, 2026, at 6:45 PM. The Catalan club’s initial formal bid amounted to 45 million euros, a sum that the Nerazzurri considered substantially undervaluation. The Italian side maintained a resolute stance, asserting that their minimum acceptable price for Bastoni was 60 million euros.
Inter recognize the defender’s status as a premier player within their squad. Despite recent challenging periods, encompassing the contentious “Derby d’Italia” match and Bastoni’s subsequent red card in Italy’s defeat against Bosnia during the World Cup qualifying “play-off” in Zenica, the player himself expressed openness to discussing a potential offer. Sources indicate that Barcelona’s interest in acquiring Bastoni remains, but the financial disparity between the two clubs presents a significant obstacle.
Inter are determined to secure a fee reflecting Bastoni’s considerable talent and value.
