Inter have officially confirmed that young defender Alessandro Bastoni has returned early from his loan with fellow Serie A side Atalanta and also put pen to paper on a new five year contract with the club.

The 19-year-old defender arrived at the Nerazzurri last summer and was loaned right back to the Bergamo club on a two year loan but it is understood a lack of first team playing time has lead to Inter recalling the Italian youth international.
