Inter are busy trying to find new center-backs to rejuvenate their corps, but they need to pay attention to the future of one of their own, as Barcelona have shortlisted Alessandro Bastoni, Mattia Moretto reports (via SOSFanta<\/em>).<\/p>\n The Blaugrana<\/em> are looking for a left-footed defender who could contribute offensively. The Italian star perfectly fits the mold. Their summer plans will be clearer after their elections, but their front office is surely very keen on the Nerazzurri<\/em> stalwart.<\/p>\n Barcelona would have to tender a humongous offer to even start the conversation, and Bastoni has begun discussing an extension with Inter. His current contract runs out in 2028. There are all the premises for him to continue at San Siro despite the buzz.<\/p>\n If the renewal doesn\u2019t materialize before the summer, the Catalonians could have an outside shot, provided he offers at opening to their pursuit. He\u2019s very focused and attached to his current side. The operation is at best in its infancy.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old moved to San Siro from Atalanta for \u20ac31M back in 2018 and has been a staple after a loan at Parma, racking up nearly 300 appearances. He has 41 caps with Italy under his belt.<\/p>\n It\u2019s probably just routine chatter tied to the Blaugrana<\/em>\u2019s campaign, when it\u2019s normal to make big promises, and to the fact that he\u2019s up for a new contract. The supposed interest from other sides helps his camp obtain higher numbers. He could play anywhere with his skillset, but the partnership is likely to continue a while longer, even though the Nerazzurri<\/em> might have to make some sacrifices in the summer because of their early UCL exit.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Bastoni, Inter, and Barcelona<\/h3>\n
