However the negotiations with Inter do not look as if they will be simple. The Nerazzurri seem open to a deal, and have given Barcelona permission to speak with Bastoni. The 27-year-old has given the Catalan side the green light to go ahead with the deal. Yet the agreement with Inter looks as if it will be much more difficult.
Barcelona are supposedly hoping to start talks around €50m for Bastoni, but Inter see him as being worth somewhere between €60-80m depending on the report. Currently, he has two years left on his deal.
Barcelona look to include Hector Fort in Bastoni deal
According to GdS (via MD), Barcelona are keen to include right-back Hector Fort in the deal as a way of bringing down the price. The 19-year-old broke into the Barcelona senior side two seasons ago, but after little involvement under Hansi Flick last season, headed to Elche on loan. After a slow start, Fort was impressing for Elche, but a shoulder injury has kept him out for the past four months. iFort has made 12 appearances this season, registering two goals and two assists.
