Bastoni Weighs Staying at Inter Amid Barcelona’s Cash Constraints

1 / 2

Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni is now considering remaining in Milan rather than joining Barcelona this summer. The 26-year-old had reportedly given Barcelona the green light, but he still has a contract running until 2028 and may honour it. Financial issues have stalled the deal. Inter value Bastoni at €70–80 million, while Barcelona can only offer around €50 million plus performance add-ons. This gap remains a major obstacle to any move. Another key factor is the overwhelming support Bastoni received from Inter fans and coach Cristian Chivu. After a costly red card in Italy’s World Cup qualifier, supporters rallied behind him with banners and praise. The defender’s bond with the Nerazzurri grows stronger as he weighs his future.
