For weeks now, Barcelona has been pushing for Alessandro Bastoni, identified as a top target to strengthen their defense. However, the potential deal has long been at a standstill: Inter wants at least 70 million euros, the Catalans cannot reach those figures and would like to include at least one player in exchange, but for now the Nerazzurri have closed the door.
A possible new development has been reported in recent hours by the newspaper Sport. In addition to Gerard Martin, one of the first possible exchange options in the deal, two completely new names have now emerged. The first is Roony Bardghji, a Swedish forward born in 2005. Acquired for just two million euros, last summer he attracted interest from half of Europe. The second name is that of the Hungarian goalkeeper born in 2006, Áron Yaakobishvili, currently on loan at Andorra in LaLiga 2, the Spanish second division.
At the moment, Inter is not budging from its demands, and the names of two 20-year-olds will not be enough to significantly lower the price tag for Bastoni.
