Marotta admitted Barcelona admire the Italy international but suggested no immediate move is imminent, underlining Bastoni’s importance to Inter’s plans.
“He is a great talent. He was unlucky in certain episodes. Everyone had their eyes on him. He made that naive mistake against Juventus with the simulation, he was the first to admit it, but we protected him. He is a great champion.” Marotta stated.
“I won’t deny there is interest from Barcelona, but nothing concrete yet. A player leaves if he expresses the desire to go. At this moment he is happy to be with us and we are happy with him.”
