Bastoni agent confirms Inter stay amid Barcelona interest

Alessandro Bastoni’s agent Tulio Tinti has ruled out a summer transfer for the Inter defender, despite Barcelona’s reported interest. Tinti stated that Bastoni will remain at Inter, citing the player’s happiness and contract status. Tinti told Sky Sport Italia that Bastoni has two years left on his contract and is fully committed to Inter. “He’s happy to wear the Inter shirt. There has never been a problem,” Tinti said. “Bastoni is an Inter player and will definitely stay.” Barcelona’s financial constraints have reduced the likelihood of a move, with reports suggesting their attack remains a priority over defence. The club recently signed Anthony Gordon, further limiting funds for Bastoni. Tinti acknowledged that top players attract interest but emphasized Bastoni’s satisfaction at Inter. “Players like him always attract interest,” he said. “He’s happy where he is.” Inter won the domestic double in 2026-27, reinforcing Bastoni’s decision to stay. Tinti added that while football is unpredictable, Bastoni currently has no intention of leaving. The agent’s comments follow widespread speculation linking Bastoni to Barcelona, which has now faded due to financial and squad priorities.
