Inter Milan stalwart Alessandro Bastoni is reportedly open to joining La Liga heavyweights Barcelona in the summer.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 26-year-old has found Barca’s interest ‘tempting.’
It’s no secret that Barcelona are ready to do everything to lure Alessandro Bastoni to the Camp Nou at the end of the season.
Indeed, Hansi Flick is desperate to strengthen his defensive options, with the Italian star emerging as his top target.
However, the Nerazzurri keep Bastoni in high esteem and are now willing to part ways with their defensive cornerstone.
Inter Milan Star Alessandro Bastoni Tempted by Barcelona Interest
Despite never showing any ambition to leave San Siro, Bastoni could change his mind after a series of unfortunate events.
Indeed, the former Atalanta man fell victim to social media abuse after picking up a red card in Italy’s heartbreaking loss to Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Furthermore, he and his wife had to turn off comments on Instagram to shield themselves from a wave of online harassment.
It’s also worth noting Serie A fans continue to boo Bastoni following the incident with Pierre Kalulu in February’s Derby d’Italia.
Therefore, the player could sever ties with Inter to protect his mental well-being.
