Everyone is now announcing Barcelona's real interest in the young defender Alessandro Bastoni, the 26-year-old Inter Milan defender, who apparently wants to experience something new away from the San Siro in Milan.

Barcelona are in serious negotiations for Alessandro Bastoni!

Renowned football insider Florian Plettenberg recently shared an update via his X account, revealing that Barcelona’s leadership has made notable strides in talks with Inter Milan over a potential move for 26-year-old center-back Alessandro Bastoni.

As the story goes, the Catalan club has already secured a verbal agreement with the player himself. The only remaining hurdle is persuading Inter to green-light his departure.

🚨FC Barcelona remain in active talks with Alessandro #Bastoni’s management.

Hansi Flick is also a big admirer of the 26 y/o top defender, and personal terms are not expected to be an issue.

That said, Bastoni won’t be wearing Blaugrana colors just yet. Before any deal can be finalized, Barcelona must first offload several players from their current squad in order to free up the necessary funds.

This season, Bastoni has featured in 35 matches for Inter, finding the net twice and providing six assists. His current contract with the Nerazzurri runs until 2028, and Transfermarkt currently places his market value at €70 million.
