La Gazzetta dello Sport says Barca are ready to offer Bastoni an escape route out of San Siro stadium and Serie A.
For his part, Bastoni is also open to the move, having been made aware of Barca's interest earlier this month.
With a deal to 2028, Inter would seek to sell for €80m - a figure which falls in the range of what Barca regard as reasonable.
The Catalans will have to sell before making their move, but both Inter and Bastoni now know of Barca's interest.
