Barcelona are still keen on signing Inter Milan and Italy national team centre-back Alessandro Bastoni.
Details: According to insider Fabrizio Romano, the Blaugrana board contacted Bastoni’s entourage immediately after Italy’s recent match against Bosnia and Herzegovina to once again reiterate their interest and admiration for his abilities. It should be noted that Bastoni was shown a red card in that match, significantly impacting Italy’s hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
Reports indicate that Barcelona and Bastoni’s representatives have already reached a preliminary agreement on the key aspects: salary and contract length. Both parties describe the current state of negotiations as "positive," emphasizing the excellent relationship between the club and the player.
This season, the defender has featured in 35 matches for the Milan side, scoring 2 goals and providing 6 assists. Transfermarkt values the player at €70 million.
Reminder: Barcelona’s key midfielder suffered an injury in the match against Atletico.
