MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Alessandro Bastoni is eyeing Barcelona. The Blaugrana are seeking a left-footed centre-back with good aerial prowess for next season, a profile that perfectly fits the profile of the 26-year-old Inter defender.
According to “Marca,” there are no formal negotiations yet, but Barça have reportedly tested the waters and secured the player’s full availability: Bastoni is eager for a change of scenery and would be happy to do so at Camp Nou.
Inter are also reportedly open to negotiations, but his price tag—a reported valuation of €70 million—is a significant issue given the financial fair play restrictions that Barça are required to adhere to.
This also makes Bastoni not the only option, with Tottenham’s Van de Ven and Borussia Dortmund’s Schlotterbeck on sporting director Deco’s radar as slightly less expensive alternatives. Hamburger SV Vuskovic is also interested, but he’s right-footed and costs around €60 million.
