Alessandro Bastoni finds himself back at the center of the market following the recent movements of Inter Milan, which is already working on his potential replacement.
The Italian club doesn't want any surprises and has decided to preempt events due to the growing interest from FC Barcelona in their star center-back.
The deal is not yet closed, but in Italy, there are clear signs that the future of the Italian international could be away from Milan.
Alessandro Bastoni, edging closer to FC Barcelona
The name of Alessandro Bastoni has been on FC Barcelona's radar for months, as they look to strengthen their defense with an established player.
Deco has been closely monitoring the player, engaging with both his environment and with Inter Milan in recent weeks.
The player's desire to try a new experience also plays a part. The possibility of wearing the blaugrana shirt is appealing to him.
However, the operation is not straightforward. The Italian club has set a high price that complicates any direct negotiation.
Inter Milan reacts with Tarik Muharemovic
Faced with this scenario, Inter Milan has decided to make a move in the market by signing Tarik Muharemovic.
The young Sassuolo center-back is seen as a promising prospect. His left-footed profile fits within the team's defensive scheme.
Negotiations are well advanced. Italy reports that there's an agreement with both the club and the player.
This move is not random. It is in response to the fear of losing Alessandro Bastoni in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Tarik Muharemovic, Inter Milan's bet
The signing of Tarik Muharemovic reinforces the idea that Inter Milan is gearing up for a potential defensive change.
The Bosnian has been one of the revelations of the season. His progress has attracted the interest of several European clubs.
FC Barcelona is closely monitoring this move. They believe the Italian club might be preparing for Bastoni's departure.

FC Barcelona seeks to lower Bastoni's price
In the offices of FC Barcelona, it is understood that Alessandro Bastoni's initial price is high.
The figure of 70 million euros is deemed excessive. Therefore, the club is exploring alternative ways to reduce the cost.
One option involves including players in the deal. Another is leveraging the player's pressure to negotiate.
The current context might favor the Catalan club. The arrival of Tarik Muharemovic shifts the balance of power.
Alessandro Bastoni, an ongoing operation
The future of Alessandro Bastoni remains unresolved, but every move hints at a possible change of scenery.
Inter Milan aims to protect itself and not be caught off guard if the defender's departure materializes.
On the other hand, FC Barcelona remains calm. They understand that time could be in their favor in this complex negotiation.
The outcome will depend on various factors, from the final stance of the Italian club to the player's persistence.
Alessandro Bastoni continues to be one of the prominent figures in the market, with FC Barcelona lurking and Inter Milan already prepared for any scenario.
