Inter star Bastoni is keen to move to Barcelona, and according to several sources, informal talks between the Italian centre-back’s camp and the Catalans are already underway.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Italian defender will only consider two options in the summer: staying at Inter, where he’s under contract to 2028, or moving to Barcelona.

Bastoni is said to be fascinated by the Blaugrana and the city of Barcelona, but this doesn’t mean he’ll push to leave Inter.

Mundo Deportivo confirms that Bastoni is Barcelona’s priority target to strengthen their defence in 2026-27, even if coach Hansi Flick has yet to give his final green light before club-to-club talks begin.

Inter are unwilling to sell Bastoni on the cheap, and there have been mixed reports about the Nerazzurri’s asking price, which is not expected to be below €60m.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Nerazzurri’s demands will be even higher at €70m-80m.
