According to a report by Barca Universal on Friday, October 30, 2026, Inter Milan could consider substantial offers for Alessandro Bastoni next summer, potentially giving Barcelona another chance to secure the Italian defender's signature.

Reports suggest that Inter and the 27-year-old are currently satisfied with their relationship. However, an attractive offer could persuade the Italian club to reconsider its position on the defender's future.

Barcelona were previously linked with Bastoni during the summer transfer window as manager Hansi Flick sought to strengthen his defensive options. However, the proposed move failed to progress, reportedly because Flick had not given his approval.

The Catalan giants have now renewed their interest as they assess their defensive needs following recent injuries and results that have exposed a lack of depth at centre-back.

Bastoni is viewed as an appealing option because of his left-footed profile and ability to build attacks from the back, qualities that could fit well into Flick's style of football.

Earlier reports also suggested that the Italy international would be willing to join Barcelona, having reportedly given the green light to the move during the summer.

However, Inter have no active plans to sell the defender, and any possible departure would depend on receiving a sufficiently attractive offer.

The report further indicates that a transfer would only be considered next summer, effectively ruling out a move during the January window.

Bastoni is currently valued at around €65 million, although Inter have not established a specific asking price for the defender.

Barcelona must now decide whether to make another attempt to sign the Italian international as they continue to evaluate their options ahead of the next transfer window.
