Marotta has put an end to it: Bastoni will remain with Inter. The deal with Barça has been cancelled…

Marotta made it clear: Bastoni will remain with Inter. The deal with Barça is cancelled. Juventus president Giuseppe Marotta officially confirmed that Alessandro Bastoni’s transfer to Catalonian club Barcelona will not take place. He also said that Juventus’ management does not intend to part with one of the team’s key defenders. “Fans can rest assured. Alessandro never asked to leave. He is happy in Milan, and we are not a club that sells its leaders. I’m sure Bastoni will continue to play for Inter,” said Marotta. There were rumors that the Italian defender might transfer to Camp Nou. However, the Catalans faced a firm stance from Juventus. Marotta once again emphasized the club’s strategy: Inter focuses on keeping its core team together, rather than engaging in commercial deals. This is a crucial issue for Inter, considering their ambitions in Serie A and the Champions League. Bastoni, who is a key player in Simone Inzaghi’s defense, has shown consistently high levels of performance. His departure would seriously weaken Inter’s defense. Therefore, the club’s management made a firm decision. Now, everyone’s attention is focused on preparing for the new season, where Inter aims to compete for all possible trophies with the best possible squad.
