Inter are seriously considering selling defender Alessandro Bastoni this summer, with Barcelona prioritizing him as a transfer target. According to Barca Blaugranes, the asking price has dropped to around €50 million plus bonuses, down from previous valuations of €70-80 million.
Inter's decision to offload Bastoni is driven by their desire to strengthen the squad and raise funds. The 28-year-old international has a contract until 2028 but has recently come under scrutiny, affecting his position at the club. Barca Universal reports Bastoni has expressed a clear preference to join Barcelona and is uninterested in Premier League offers, giving Barcelona an edge in negotiations.
Barcelona is managing talks carefully, aiming to reduce the fee and possibly include another player to ease financial pressure. Bastoni's current salary, about €5 million per year net, fits Barcelona's wage scheme, simplifying his integration.
What once seemed improbable is now tangible. Inter is open to parting ways, the player wants the move, and Barcelona is set to strike at the right moment for a summer deal.
