The rumors circulating in Spain in recent hours regarding a possible attempt by Barcelona for Alessandro Bastoni have been confirmed. Matteo Moretto clarified what happened in recent days on Fabrizio Romano‘s Youtube channel. As explained by the journalist, the Blaugrana’s interest in the Inter defender is indeed real.
To confirm this, in recent days sporting director Deco was in Milan for reasons strictly related to the transfer market. It should also be added, however, that Inter considers Bastoni untouchable and that there is no possibility that they would part with one of the best Italian defenders currently playing during the January transfer window.
These are Moretto‘s words: “In Spain they say that Barcelona is interested in Alessandro Bastoni. We can confirm that in recent days Barcelona’s sporting director Deco was in Milan for his transfer market rounds, to understand the possibilities in the market. It is true that Barcelona likes Bastoni, but Bastoni is liked by many other clubs in Europe. There are important constraints that make this operation impossible in January. In the future, we will understand Bastoni’s intentions and the type of offers that may arrive. In January, the deal is unfeasible, both because of Bastoni’s extremely high cost and also the player’s desire, as he has always said he wants to stay at Inter, especially in January. So let’s not expect any news about Bastoni, even though there are clubs in Spain and England keeping an eye on him. Then in June, it will be a different story.”
