BARCELONA (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – “We’re happy with Bastoni, we’re happy with what he has given to Inter, and I’m sure he will continue to give us a lot. If someone is interested in Bastoni, they know the phone numbers.” Yesterday, Piero Ausilio summed up the ongoing saga surrounding the Nerazzurri defender, who for months has been increasingly linked with Barcelona.
Mundo Deportivo continues to fuel the story, explaining that the Blaugrana are the only club the Italian international centre-back would say yes to, partly because he is fascinated by Flick’s work (“He never misses his matches,” MD says) and by the Catalan city.
This would be the reason why he is not willing to talk to other interested clubs such as Manchester City last summer and Liverpool now, according to the Barcelona-based newspaper. Bastoni has reportedly made his stance clear to his agents: “Barça or I stay at Inter.”
Negotiations between the player and the Spanish club are said to be at an advanced stage, with only Flick’s final approval still missing.
