Bastoni’s Agent Says Defender Will Stay at Inter

Agent and Inter meetings show Bastoni intends to honour his contract; Barcelona lack the funds to press a summer move.

Overview

  • Tullio Tinti met Inter directors at the club’s headquarters on Wednesday and told Sky Sport Italia that Alessandro Bastoni will remain an Inter player this summer.
  • Tinti said Bastoni is happy at the club, wants to honour his deal, and has two years left on his contract that runs until June 2028.
  • Reports in Italy and Spain have linked Barcelona to Bastoni but the club’s reported financial limits and recent signing of Anthony Gordon make an expensive defensive transfer unlikely.
  • Bastoni, 27, produced two goals and six assists in 40 appearances this season and is viewed by Inter as a key part of the squad they plan to keep.
  • Tinti also represents Matteo Darmian, who is expected to leave when his contract expires on June 30, a separate roster move that the club is preparing for.
