Top Barcelona defensive target has doubts over summer transferBarcelona target Alessandro Bastoni is reportedly having second thoughts about a move to the Catalan capital this summer. The Italian international has been having a difficult season in Milan, and has been made their priority to strengthen their backline at the end of the season.Bastoni, 26, is out of contract in 2028, and initially, the Nerazzurri were looking to renew his contract. However in February, it appeared that negotiations had broken down, and Inter opened the door to cashing in on him this summer. Barcelona had already been linked to Bastoni in November, and renewed their interest in him.Bastoni having second thoughts over Barcelona moveIn recent weeks, it has been reported that Bastoni is keen to move to Barcelona, and after entering talks on contract terms, had given the green light to a move. His intention was to leave, while Barcelona had been given permission to negotiate with Bastoni. Now CdS (via Sport) say that Bastoni is having second thoughts about Inter.They claim that Bastoni is edging towards staying at the Giuseppe Meazza this summer. Bastoni, following a diving incident and a sending off for Italy, has become the villain of the piece in Serie A, facing significant backlash. Manager Christian Chivu and the Inter fans have responded with backing for Bastoni, which has impacted his mindset.Barcelona price tag debateGiven Bastoni and Barcelona are in negotiations, it is beyond the realms of possibility that this is an attempt to draw the Catalan side into upping their offer to Bastoni. On the other hand, there are also doubts about their ability to match Inters demands for him too. It was reported in Italy that Inter have laughed off a 50m offer for Bastoni, who they want 70-80m for. Barcelona are also prioritising a move for a number nine this summer.

Luke Littler and Gian van Veen opted to warm up in different practice areas ahead of Premier League Darts Night 10 in Brighton, keeping their distance following last week's heated exchange in Manchester.The 19-year-old world number one and his Dutch rival had clashed during a tense final leg decider where both missed crucial match darts.New league leader Jonny Clayton addressed the separate warm-up arrangements after the Brighton event, though he dismissed any suggestion of deliberate avoidance."Yeah, they're always in separate practice rooms really," Clayton explained.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour Say"If there's two rooms then myself, Mike [Van Gerwen], and Luke [Humphries] are in one and Gian comes into that."I don't think anything of it, it's just the way it happens. Tonight Gian was in with us and Luke was in the one. There's nothing in that."The teenager's preparation routine, which famously included throwing a few darts and eating pizza before his World Championship final against Van Veen at Alexandra Palace in January, typically sees him enter game mode with headphones on during warm-ups.However, the approach failed to produce results on this occasion as Littler recorded the poorest televised PDC performance of his career.The world number one managed an average of just 83.94 as he fell 6-4 to Stephen Bunting, producing a display described as shocking.Littler faced widespread booing from the Brighton crowd once again, responding by cupping his ears upon arriving at the oche, but his defiant gesture could not mask a deeply underwhelming showing.LATEST SPORTS NEWS:Lando Norris relationship update after reigning F1 champion got fans talking with public appearanceJonny Clayton sends message to Luke Littler after darts fans booed teenage sensationRory McIlroy reveals texts from Tiger Woods that angered wife Erica StollThe Manchester confrontation saw Littler seemingly celebrate when Van Veen failed to hit his checkout, before rallying the home supporters behind him.An intense staredown between the pair followed, with Littler subsequently taking the dispute to social media where he directed pointed comments at his closest recent challenger.The incident sparked a week of intense examination of the teenager's on-stage conduct, with his behaviour drawing considerable criticism from observers.Littler's actions at the oche and his subsequent online remarks have placed him under significant scrutiny, raising questions about whether the controversy might be affecting his performances at a crucial stage of the Premier League season.Darts pundit Wayne Mardle offered his assessment of Littler's subdued display, suggesting the previous week's events had taken their toll."I'm assuming tonight was a reaction to last week, although I don't know," Mardle said. "Littler looked quite flat, there were points where he was lobbing the darts, not petulantly but not with directness he normally throws."It would be more of a coincidence if we said it had nothing to do with last week, it was a knock-on from that. "I thought he was going to be OK but he wasn't. He's going to have to get back on the horse soon."Van Veen also exited in Brighton, losing 6-4 to eventual runner-up Michael van Gerwen, though the Dutchman performed more respectably with a 94.49 average.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
