There have been numerous media reports recently regarding Barcelona’s desire to sign Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni; however, this deal has sparked some controversy following the fatal error committed by the Italian international against Bosnia and Herzegovina, which led to the Azzurri’s failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
However, prominent Italian journalist Matteo Moretto has stated that Barcelona’s German manager, Hansi Flick, is a great admirer of Bastoni’s abilities, and that the Catalan club is keen to complete the deal.

Moreto, a journalist forthe Spanish newspaperMarca, added that Bastoni has already agreed to join the Blaugrana, confirming that the player is not only open to the move but “very excited” about it, as he is currently negotiating the details of his contract with the Spanish club.
For its part,Sky Sports reported that the next hurdle lies in the need to negotiate with Inter Milan, which is expected to happen soon.
