Inter president confirms Barcelona interest in Bastoni

Inter president Beppe Marotta has openly acknowledged that Barcelona are monitoring star defender Alessandro Bastoni ahead of the summer transfer window. While the Nerazzurri chief admitted to the interest from the La Liga giants, he remained firm that the centre-back is currently settled at San Siro.

Could Barca really spend big on Alvarez & Bastoni?!

Barcelona boss Hansi Flick doesn't want to get bogged down in questions about the summer transfer window at this particular moment in time, and that's perfectly understandable. The Catalans may be presently nine points clear of Real Madrid in the Spanish title race, but there's still work to be done - possibly without an injured Lamine Yamal - and, as Flick pointed out on Tuesday, "La Liga is not an easy league."
