Inter, for Bastoni, United on pole: it costs 60 million, the suitors

It will not be “the same beach and the same sea”, but Inter’s summer promises – at least at the start – similar to twelve months ago. The situation of the club’s accounts is more serene, but once again the sacrifice of a big player will be essential. Considering that everything will be done to avoid the sale of Lautaro Martinez, here is the shortlist of candidates. In terms of age, role and market value, all the clues lead to Alessandro Bastoni, one destined to be a pillar of Italy but who, compared to others, is “less complicated” to replace. Of course, then the difference will be made by any official offers that will arrive on the desk of the CEO. Beppe Marotta and the sports director Piero Ausilio, but in the meantime the list of suitors has several top clubs with enormous charm. Bastoni could trigger an auction in the Premier: Antonio Conte’s Tottenham is monitoring carefully, also because left-handed defender, of quality and physical strength like Alessandro, there are not many around and Conte has seen with his own eyes how much Alessandro is destined to become among the best in the world in the role. Guardiola’s City in the past had asked for information and this time too they could try to make the blitz, but today the most credible hypothesis for Bastoni remains the other team from Manchester, Ten Hag’s United.

SPRINT UNITED

The former Ajax coach has been chosen to start a new cycle that can quickly bring the Red Devils back among the top clubs in Europe: it is normal then to expect a half revolution in the staff, starting with defense. Sticks really like Ten Hag, who loves personality defenders, those tactically always lucid and attentive but who also know how to set up with the ease of directors. United over the years have shown that they have no problem investing heavily in defenders, but those 92 million spent in 2019 for Maguire still cry out for revenge. For Bastoni it takes at least 60 million euros, for less Inter would not even consider the hypothesis of the sale. United knows this and is studying the right offer. Meanwhile, the player via social media still sees the Nerazzurri: “You can’t change the past, but what you can do is always give your best to ensure that the future is more and more tinged with the Nerazzurri colors.” Message from Inter in the soul, which would remain valid even in the event of farewell.

THE OTHERS

But Inter needs to quickly cut the salary and this is also why the Chileans Sanchez and Vidal are saying goodbye: Alexis earns 7 million net until 2023, but there is no future for him at Inter. He likes him at River Plate and in Spain, but an agreement will be sought for a severance pay. For Vidal, however, we are moving towards the termination of the contract: Arturo must choose between Colo Colo and Flamengo, while Inter will save 6.5 million. Also to greet Vecino, holder of a contract expiring for 2.5 million. He is close to Lazio, but Inter is not interested in this. He counts the actual savings: fresh money that can be reinvested.
