THE Italian newspaper claims neither the Serie A giants nor their defender are currently considering a summer split, but that doesn’t mean Barcelona are without hope.
Inter could indeed sit on offers worth €70m, while Bastoni could be tempted to leave at the end of the season, especially after the hostile reception he has received in Italian stadiums in recent weeks.
Fans across Italy are still targeting the Italy international following an incident which led to a red card for Pierre Kalulu during a Serie A match between Inter and Juventus in February.
Tuttosport cites Spanish sources as saying that Barcelona director Deco has already met the player’s entourage.

Over the past few weeks, speculation over a possible move for Bastoni to Barcelona has intensified. In February, even the Catalan defender Pau Cubarsí congratulated the Italian star.
