In the last few weeks, there has been quite a bit of talk around Alessandro Bastoni and a possible move to Barcelona. Serie A giants Inter would obviously be perturbed by the speculation, especially since the defender hasn’t had a great few months.
Bastoni was given a standing ovation during Inter’s win over Roma. It was probably a sign of the restoration of love between the two parties.
Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio spoke about the defender at an event at Coverciano today. In a chat with **FCInterNews** – via [Calciomercato](http://www.calciomercato.com/notizie/inter-ausilio-barcellona-su-bastoni-non-devono-parlare-chi-lo-vuole-ci-chiami/blt8801a28e64049b5d), he clarified that Barcelona haven’t come forward for the player and they know the phone numbers, if they want to do that.
He said: _“Bastoni has a contract with Inter, and there aren’t any situations right now that suggest Bastoni will leave Inter. Barcelona? I don’t know what they’re saying in Spain, but we’re happy with what Bastoni has given to Inter, and we’re sure he’ll give a lot more._
Ausilio also urged the Spanish media to shut down and focus on what is really going on.
_“If anyone is interested in Bastoni, they know the phone numbers, so they should do that, they shouldn’t talk.”_
So far, there have been a variety of rumours about Bastoni. Some have suggested he would be interested in a move to Barcelona, with others appearing certain he is keen on staying at Inter. It is fair to say that the next ew weeks will define everything.
