Bastoni ‘Says Yes’ as Barcelona Push to Complete Deal
Barcelona have made a breakthrough in their search for defensive reinforcements. Italian defender Alessandro Bastoni has reportedly agreed to terms and is “very excited” to join the Catalan giants. The 26-year-old Inter Milan centre-back is said to be Deco’s top target for the summer window. His experience is seen as vital after Barcelona’s defensive struggles and the departure of Iñigo Martínez. Despite Bastoni’s verbal “yes,” talks with Inter Milan are at an early stage. Inter want between €70m and €80m, while Barcelona hope for an initial €50m with add-ons. Potential player-plus-cash swaps and the need to offload current squad members will shape negotiations under La Liga’s financial rules.
