It’s claimed that Catalan outfit have already done their homework on Bastoni’s camp and understand both his contractual situation and Inter’s stance. According to the report, Inter have now put a clear number on Bastoni’s head, with the Nerazzurri prepared to listen to offers starting at around 70 million euros, a figure communicated to Barcelona and known to other interested clubs like Liverpool.

Inter’s willingness to talk does not mean Bastoni will be pushed out of San Siro, but it does mark a significant change: their defensive cornerstone is no longer completely untouchable, as long as someone arrives with that 70 million euro starting bid. Ultimately, whether Liverpool decide to test Inter’s resolve could come down to Ibrahima Konate’s contract situation, which is still up in the air.
