Overview
- Italian outlet Calciomercato is cited as the source linking Arsenal and Barcelona with a potential summer move for the left-footed centre-back.
- A newer report relayed by Football Talk says Manchester United are also weighing an approach, though no formal offers have been reported.
- Inter are described as viewing Bastoni as a “priceless” starter and retain leverage with his deal running until 2028, according to the coverage.
- Reporting notes any transfer would require a substantial fee, with Transfermarkt valuing him around £69–70 million and suggestions a final price could exceed that figure.
- Bastoni’s profile—ball-playing, left-sided, nearly 300 Inter appearances with multiple domestic trophies—matches Barcelona’s needs, while separate analysis questions how he would fit into Arsenal’s already deep defence.
