€65m Inter Milan ace reaches principal agreement with Barcelona

A €65 million Inter Milan ace has reached a principal agreement with Barcelona and is now on the verge of completing a move.

The 26‑year‑old defender, valued at around €60–65 million by the Nerazzurri, has become Barcelona’s priority defensive reinforcement as they look to refresh the centre‑back department.

The club is working on a structure that allows them to stay within La Liga’s financial framework, with reports suggesting the deal could be finalised in the coming weeks if the two sides can align on the exact figure and any attached variables.

For Barcelona, the move would represent a significant but measured upgrade at the back, aimed at adding a left‑footed, high‑level presence without triggering a wage‑cap crisis.

The €65m Inter Milan ace who has reached a principal agreement with Barcelona is Alessandro Bastoni, the Italian international centre‑back whose consistency and composure have made him one of Serie A’s most coveted defenders, as journalist Matteo Moretto.

Bastoni has already been negotiating personal terms with Barcelona, with several reports confirming he is ready to move to Catalonia if Inter agrees to let him leave.

The Nerazzurri initially set a higher asking price, close to €70 million, but Barcelona’s improved structure and Bastoni’s willingness to facilitate the move have narrowed the gap.

For Barcelona, this potential signing would be framed as a long‑term project rather than a short‑term fix, giving Hansi Flick a core central‑defensive pairing that can grow together over the next several years.

For Bastoni, a transfer to Camp Nou offers the chance to compete in La Liga and the Champions League while continuing his development at a club that has long admired his style.

If the clubs can finalise the agreement in the coming days, Bastoni’s arrival could become one of the most impactful defensive moves of the summer window, quietly reshaping the back of Barcelona’s squad without dominating the market headlines.
