Barcelona Renew Interest in Alessandro Bastoni, Defender Wants Hansi Flick Talks
International Transfers · 10:35:04 - Saturday, 31 October 2026

Barcelona have reportedly revived their interest in Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni, according to recent reports. The Italian international has been a long-term target for the Catalan club, but any potential transfer hinges on Bastoni's desire to speak directly with Barcelona's new head coach Hansi Flick before committing to a move.

Bastoni, 27, featured for Inter in their Serie A clash against Fiorentina at the San Siro on October 25, 2026. The centre-back remains under contract with the Nerazzurri, and Inter are under no pressure to sell unless a substantial offer arrives.

Flick, who took charge of Barcelona in the summer, is keen to strengthen his defensive options and views Bastoni as a player who fits his tactical system. Negotiations are at an early stage, with Barcelona yet to submit a formal bid.
