The blue player from Inter could be part of the Special One’s plans, called upon to revolutionize the defence
What if the Casa Blanca prevailed in the end? Alessandro Bastoni and Spain have never been very close, but neither have they been far away. More or less halfway, between the Italian’s desire to stay at Inter – expressed by the chants in Piazza Duomo on the day of the Scudetto celebration – and the desires of the two most important clubs beyond the Pyrenees.

Barcelona’s interest in Bastoni is a well-known story. Flick and the upper levels have liked him for some time, but the Nerazzurri’s request is at least 70 million. A figure more within the reach of José Mourinho’s new Real Madrid. All that’s missing now is the official announcement. A few days ago Ale placed a “like” on Instagram relating to the news of the Special One’s return to the Bernabeu. A clue in favor of the Inter central defender is given by the key word that will open the Madrid market relating to the rearguard: “revolución”. Revolution. In defense they should say goodbye to Alaba, Carvajal and Rudiger – all out of contract -, so the need to build another defense of depth remains fundamental. To date, removing the players whose contract is expiring, the available centre-backs are Dean Huijsen, Raul Asencio and Eder Militao, struggling with a couple of troubled years and affected by bad injuries. The last one, the rupture of the left hamstring tendon, caused him to miss the World Cup with Brazil. He only played 21 games. However, three more than two seasons ago, when he suffered a partial rupture of his cruciate in mid-November. In short, there is a need for revolution. Bastoni could represent more than one idea. The streets of the market are always endless.
