Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni has reappeared on FC Barcelona's transfer agenda, according to reports emerging from Italy. The 27-year-old Italy international is said to be open to a move to Camp Nou but wants to hold direct talks with Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick before any potential transfer progresses.
Bastoni, who has been a key figure in Inter's defense since joining from Atalanta in 2017, featured in the Nerazzurri's Serie A match against ACF Fiorentina at San Siro on October 25. The center-back's contract with Inter runs until 2028, placing the Italian champions in a strong negotiating position should Barcelona formalize their interest.
Barcelona's pursuit of defensive reinforcements has intensified under Flick, with the German coach prioritizing a left-footed center-back to complement his tactical system. Bastoni's profile — comfortable in possession, strong aerially, and experienced at Champions League level — aligns with the club's requirements.
