Chelsea and Barcelona are reportedly eyeing up a deal to sign Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni.<\/p>\n

This according to French outlet Sport.fr<\/a>. They report that in the Blaugranas\u2019 case, the interest would be contingent on Ronald Araujo leaving.<\/p>\n

Defender Alessandro Bastoni<\/a> has become one of Inter Milan\u2019s most high profile players.<\/p>\n

The Italian international has been at the Nerazzurri for seven years. He has been a fixture in the first team starting eleven since 2019, following a loan spell with Parma.<\/p>\n

Bastoni has been a key figure for Inter under both Antonio Conte and Simone Inzaghi.<\/p>\n

There is some doubt about how long Bastoni will be featuring for Inter under Cristian Chivu, however. At least according to Sport.fr.<\/p>\n

The French outlet anticipate that the 26-year-old is on the radar of a couple European heavyweights.<\/p>\n

Firstly, Sport.fr report, Chelsea are dreaming of a move for Bastoni to bolster their defense.<\/p>\n

Then, the French outlet report, Barcelona are also eyeing up a move for Bastoni. However, this would only be as a replacement for Ronald Araujo in the event of the Uruguayan\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Alessandro Bastoni of FC Internazionale Milano in action during the FIFA Club World…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-66219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
