Barcelona Is Already Working on an Agreement With Alessandro Bastoni for a Long-Term Contract

The Catalan club is forging an agreement for the Italian player from Inter and bringing him to La Liga

Will he arrive at Barcelona?

In Italy, they already consider it closed, but the truth is that Alessandro Bastoni's transfer to Barça still depends on Hansi Flick's final approval. From the Catalan club and the player's entourage, they repeat it: without the German coach's "yes," there is no deal.

On the right track

According to Mundo Deportivo, the agreement is well underway: a five-season contract, until 2031. Bastoni, at 27 years old, is determined to wear the blue and claret jersey. He is willing to adjust his salary to fit within financial fair play and even lend a hand in the negotiations between clubs. His idea is to sit down with the Inter executives and ask them to let him go to Barcelona, the only destination for which he would leave the team of his life. The problem is the price: the Italian press talked about a record figure for a defender, between 82 and 94 million dollars.

His season with Inter

Meanwhile, the center-back waits in Milan. With Inter 12 points ahead of Milan and Napoli and only five matches left to play, Bastoni is already on the verge of his third Serie A title. He wears the number 21, his favorite number, the same one he uses for the national team, and he is getting ready to celebrate before deciding his future.
The defender understands Flick's stance: first secure the league and then talk about signings. That's why he awaits Deco's call with the coach's approval. Bastoni dreams that Barça will soon confirm their interest and finalize a transfer that would be a huge leap in his career.
