Barcelona Set to Open Talks for Alessandro Bastoni After Inter’s ‘Not Untouchable’ Message as 80 Million Budget Emerges

Latest developments are happening around Bastoni and Barcelona recently. Mixed reports were coming out of Italy regarding his willingness to leave, but latest reports suggest Bastoni is open for a move abroad, and he may prefer Barcelona for the next step of his career.

A Door Opens in Milan for Alessandro Bastoni

Few hours ago Inter's sporting director hinted that Bastoni is not untouchable and they are ready to sell him if a suitable offer arrives. The sporting director's comment is, “If anyone is interested in Bastoni, they know the contact details, so they should get in touch—they shouldn’t just talk." At the same time, he also mentioned they are expecting much more from him in the future.

Why This Is the Perfect Timing for Barcelona

As per reports from Spain, Barcelona is preparing to directly connect with Inter Milan to negotiate a deal for Bastoni and may include players in the deal. Inter is eliminated from the UCL, and they are on the way to winning the Scudetto, so Barca thinks this is the best time to initiate the conversation. Many fans guess that Inter is also expecting discussion at the earliest from the comments of Inter's sporting director, Ausilio.

Recent reports also say Barca is preparing to sign a player for a maximum budget of 80 million euros this summer. Will that be Bastoni?
