La Liga
FC Barcelona already has clear what the starting point will be if it wants to sign one of its major defensive targets for the upcoming season. Inter Milan has made it clear that they will not negotiate for Alessandro Bastoni unless the offer reaches 70 million euros.
The Barcelona sports management has been closely following the Italian center-back for months. The player is considered an ideal piece to strengthen the team's defense and raise the competitive level in LaLiga and in Europe. However, the first obstacle for FC Barcelona is evident: the price demanded by Inter Milan.
FC Barcelona considers Alessandro Bastoni a priority
Within the sports planning of FC Barcelona, defense is one of the positions intended to be reinforced in the next transfer market. The sports management believes that Alessandro Bastoni possesses all the necessary characteristics to become the leader of the Barcelona defense in the coming years.
The central defender from Inter Milan stands out for his ball distribution, tactical intelligence, and his ability to start play from the back. These qualities fit perfectly with the style that FC Barcelona is aiming for to compete at the highest level in LaLiga.
For this reason, Bastoni's name has been placed at the top of the club's list of targets.
Inter Milan sets Alessandro Bastoni's price
Inter Milan has begun planning significant changes in its squad for the upcoming season. The Italian board is looking to generate financial resources to revamp the team and believes that some players could leave if significant offers arrive.
Among them is Alessandro Bastoni, although the club has no intention to sell him at any price. According to information from Italy, Inter Milan is willing to negotiate his departure only if the offer reaches 70 million euros.
This amount represents a very high figure for FC Barcelona, which will need to carefully study its options before making any moves.
FC Barcelona seeks ways to reduce the price
The FC Barcelona is aware that paying 70 million euros for Alessandro Bastoni is not a simple operation. Therefore, the sports management is working on different strategies that could facilitate an agreement with Inter Milan.
One of the options being considered is including a player in the deal to reduce the final transfer cost. These types of operations are common in Italian football and could be attractive to Inter Milan.
Furthermore, Bastoni's own stance could influence the progress of the negotiations.

Bastoni does not rule out a change of scenery
Although Alessandro Bastoni has a contract with Inter Milan, the player would be willing to consider proposals if an intriguing opportunity arises. The Italian defender is open to taking on a new challenge in his sporting career.
The project of FC Barcelona is particularly appealing to the player, who has shown his fondness for the Catalan club on several occasions. This factor could play a significant role in potential negotiations during the upcoming summer transfer window.
FC Barcelona prepares for a complex negotiation
The operation to sign Alessandro Bastoni is shaping up to be one of the most challenging in the market. FC Barcelona considers the Inter Milan center-back a priority, but is also aware that it cannot jeopardize its financial stability.
For that reason, the Catalan club will explore all possible alternatives before making a formal offer.
The coming weeks will be crucial to define FC Barcelona's final strategy, understanding that it will need to approach the 70 million mark to lure Alessandro Bastoni away from Inter Milan and make him one of the major signings in LaLiga.
