Reports suggest that Barcelona has already reached a personal agreement with Bastoni, and now the only thing left is to convince Inter to let the player go.

However, before Bastoni can officially become a Barcelona player, the Spanish giants will need to complete several outgoing transfers to bolster their budget.

This season, Bastoni has played 35 matches for Inter, netting 2 goals and providing 6 assists. His contract with the Milan powerhouse runs until 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €70 million.
