7M - Serie A giants will demand big money for Barcelona dream target – Romano

FC Barcelona have identified Alessandro Bastoni of Inter Milan as a summer transfer target, with Fabrizio Romano confirming the club's admiration for the Italy international. Barca view Bastoni as a dream option to bolster their defence, ideally a left footed centre back, following their previous departure of Inigo Martinez.

However, Inter are unlikely to part with Bastoni easily. He remains a crucial part of their project, and any potential sale would come at a substantial price. There has been no concrete movement from Barcelona toward Bastoni, and reports suggest the defender may sign a new contract with Inter instead.

Barcelona's financial constraints add to the difficulty of a deal, making a big-money fee a likely hurdle if negotiations were to occur. For now, Barca continue to monitor Bastoni's situation while weighing alternatives.
