From the source

Barcelona are interested in signing Inter Milan centre-back Alessandro Bastoni, according to Sky Sports. The Spanish giants showed strong interest in Bastoni last summer, but manager Hansi Flick reportedly pulled the plug on a potential deal.

Barcelona are now ready to revive their interest in the Italy international given their defensive struggles and injuries this season. They have conceded 12 goals in La Liga, more than title rivals Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

The Blaugrana will have to dig deep to sign Bastoni, with Inter reportedly valuing him at €70 million (£59m). The 27-year-old is comfortable on the ball, making him a good fit for Barcelona.
