“He’s a valuable player for Inter and for Italy, a strong player, an incredible footballer, and we want to keep him. ” Bastoni is reportedly Barcelona’s top target to strengthen their backline this summer and has a price tag of around 60 million euros. The defender has endured a tough time recently for club and country which had fuelled speculation he could look for a challenge away from Serie A.
However, the season has ended on a high note for Bastoni with another title triumph to add to his collection. A decision is now expected on his future and whether he will stay at San Siro or seek a move.
