Alessandro Bastoni remains a potential option for Barcelona as the Catalan club considers reinforcing its central defence, but any attempt to bring the Inter Milan defender to Camp Nou could hinge on a conversation with Hansi Flick.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the 27-year-old Italian is still willing to listen to an approach from Barça despite the disappointment he experienced during last summer’s transfer discussions.
Bastoni was previously identified as a priority target by Barcelona’s sporting department, with Deco particularly keen to secure his services. However, the situation changed when Flick decided against making the defender a priority.
