Sport: Bastoni to Barcelona is taking shape, only specific deal to be agreed

According to the latest report from "Sport", the transfer of Bastoni to Barcelona is gradually taking shape. The player is only willing to transfer to Barcelona, and Inter Milan also intends to sell him for profit.

According to reports, the deal for Bastoni to transfer to Barcelona is gradually taking shape. The key to the negotiations is that the player is willing to transfer, and Inter Milan is also willing to sell the player. Selling Bastoni will bring huge value-added benefits to Inter, enabling them to balance their financial situation and obtain sufficient liquidity to cope with the transfer market.

Therefore, the management of Inter Milan is increasingly inclined to sell the player as a strategic economic operation for the future. In the past two years, Inter Milan's investment has been very cautious, and they have tried to improve the club's financial situation by maintaining a balance between buying and selling.

Oak Tree the managment now needs to reshape the club's building plan through a large sale, at least to introduce two important players, and Bastoni seems to be the key to their plan. In the latest "Football and Finance" report, Inter Milan has almost amortized Bastoni's transfer fee.

The player was signed from Atalanta in 2017 for approximately 30 million euros, and his book value was only 2.6 million euros in June. Therefore, a sale worth 60 million euros will bring Inter Milan a value-added income of more than 57 million euros, which means that the club will achieve profitability in the current fiscal year.

Not only that, but the club will also save about 11.5 million euros in player salaries, thereby gaining more financial fair play space in the transfer market. The biggest problem facing the management is in terms of competition, because Bastoni's departure means losing an important pillar in their defense and one of the best center-backs in the world.

In this debate, economic factors seem to have prevailed, so they have almost decided to sell the player to the highest bidder. Inter Milan hopes to gain more benefits through auctions, including attracting the participation of Premier League clubs. At this time, Bastoni's connection with Barcelona is particularly important.

Despite receiving tempting offers from the Premier League, Bastoni has been reluctant to leave Inter Milan. Now, if he has to leave, he wants to choose his destination, and his first choice is Barcelona. He only considers two options: either renew his contract with Inter Milan or transfer to Barcelona. Therefore, if he is sold, his destination is very clear.

Barcelona learned about Bastoni's situation several months ago, so Deco has been in contact with his team since last December, ahead of potential competitors. They clearly expressed their interest in Bastoni and made progress in the negotiations. Now, all that remains is to agree on the specific details of the transaction, including fixed payments and possibly including some Barcelona players in the transaction.
