Barcelona Face Lautaro Martinez ‘Deja Vu’ Amid Ongoing Pursuit Of Inter Milan Center-Back
La Liga giants Barcelona have identified Inter Milan long-serving stalwart Alessandro Bastoni as one of their top summer targets.
According to FCInterNews, the Blaugrana’s pursuit of the Italian center-back resembles their failed attempt to sign Lautaro Martinez six years ago.
Back in 2020, El Toro emerged as a concrete target for the Camp Nou outfit, but they didn’t have the resources to secure his signature.
Despite reportedly striking a verbal agreement with the player, Barcelona lacked funds to match Inter’s stratospheric €111 million asking price.
As a result, Lautaro Martinez has stayed at San Siro, where he continues to write history.
Fast forward six years, and Barcelona are keen to lure the Argentine’s teammate, Alessandro Bastoni, away from Serie A.
