Barcelona will have to make a huge financial sacrifice if they are to sign Inter Milan center-back Alessandro Bastoni this summer.
According to Corriere della Sera via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri won’t let their star defender leave for less than €70 million.
Despite falling out of favor with Serie A fans, Alessandro Bastoni remains the cornerstone of Inter’s defense.
Indeed, the 26-year-old’s status at San Siro has not changed, even though he is enduring the most challenging moment of his career.
Furthermore, the player has never expressed a desire to leave the club and is even willing to put pen to paper on a new contract.

Bastoni’s contract expires in 2028, which puts the Nerazzurri in a decent bargaining position ahead of the summer transfer window.
Moreover, the Italian giants will only consider offers for their long-serving stalwart in the region of €70 million.
Meanwhile, Barcelona had hoped to snap up the former Atalanta man on favorable terms, drawing confidence from his difficult situation in Italy.
However, Los Blaugranas will likely have to match Inter’s asking price if they are to lure Bastoni to the Camp Nou.
On the other hand, Inter have already identified Sassuolo starlet Tarik Muharemovic as Bastoni’s potential heir.
