Why Barcelona have put Bastoni talks on hold with Inter
Barcelona have paused transfer talks with Inter over Alessandro Bastoni due to financial constraints and broader squad reinforcement plans. The Catalan club is hesitant to spend more than €50 million on a single centre-back, preferring to allocate resources across multiple positions. Meanwhile, Inter have not set a formal valuation for Bastoni and have yet to receive any official offer from Barcelona.
