Targeted for several weeks, Alessandro Bastoni remains a serious option for FC Barcelona as they look to strengthen their defense. However, the deal is shaping up to be far more complex—and significantly more expensive—than initially expected.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter Milan has no intention of letting one of their key players go on the cheap. The asking price is reportedly set between €70 million and €80 million, a steep figure for a Barça side still dealing with financial constraints despite their status as Spanish champions.
A High-Stakes Transfer with Major Financial Implications
Under contract until 2028, the 26-year-old Italian international is fully aware of Barcelona’s interest. Behind the scenes, talks are said to be progressing seriously. Reports suggest that an agreement could be close, involving a five-year deal with an estimated annual salary of €20 million.
The main hurdle now remains convincing Inter Milan. At such a price, Barcelona will need to make a major financial effort—or reconsider their ambitions in this high-profile transfer pursuit.
