The Alessandro Bastoni file is still not closed, but the leaders of FC Barcelona are not giving up! Indeed, the Catalans are working hard to prepare for next season with two clear priorities: strengthening the central defense and recruiting a center forward. For the defender position, the Blaugrana’s number one target has been Alessandro Bastoni for several days (26 years old). Currently in the colors of Inter Milan, the Italian international could be open to a departure, in order to take a step forward in his career. And as reported Sports Mediasetthe two clubs have already started discussions. However, Barça’s first offer, estimated at 45 million euros, was refused. The source indicates that the Lombard club is demanding… around 60 million euros.
Under contract until 2028 with the Interists, Bastoni would be in the dark, at a time when he is going through a delicate period on the media level after a controversial expulsion against Bosnia with the Boot. The Catalan management already has its plan in mind to bring it to La Liga. Indeed, he would benefit from a clear increase in value, with a salary estimated at 7 million euros per year, higher than his current 5 million euros. If Inter appear to open the door to the rearguard, Hansi Flick would support this transfer. To be continued…
