Among the players who have previously played for Inter’s Primavera, he is probably the best considering his performance. Francesco Bardi is doing very well during his first year in Serie A as first choice goalkeeper for Livorno, better than expected. He continues to gather wide support and in order to make an assessment of the young goalkeeper our partner fcinternews.it contacted his agent Vincenzo Rispoli.
Rispoli, Thohir recently said he dreamed of having a team rich with players from Inter’s youth section in the future and Bardi naturally belongs to this category. Did these comments make you happy?
“Absolutely, of course. It’s a positive thought for the guy who does well and belongs to the club’s future to, during a sensitive time like this, focus on ‘homemade’ youngsters.”
The World Cup in Brazil: a dream or a realistic possibility?
“I have read it in several different papers, and I think you can’t do anything but enjoy these rumors. The guy is young, but he has to think about the present, to do well in Livorno and the U21 national team. Everything will be what he has earned.”
Are Inter showing that they are attached to Francesco?
“Yes, absolutely. Especially Ausilio shows respect for the guy, but he has always has done that, not just now.”
The transfer Market: given some great offers, is it worth waiting for Inter?
“He’s happy to be at Inter and doesn’t think about other teams. He thinks only of the present, and wants nothing else – in the future – that’s not Inter.”
Barcelona and City: only rumors or is there any truth to these rumors?
“I have checked it and I can confirm that they are following him and you can’t be anything but happy about that.”
Will Francesco become Handanovic’s heir according to you?
“He is calm and thinks, as I said before, only about the present and let’s live with that. We will see in the future but certainly we’re hoping we get to see the results of what he’s doing now.”
