According to Tuttosport Inter have entered the final stages of bringing Alessandro Bastoni back from his loan with Atalanta early.

“Alessandro Bastoni will soon return to Inter, a year and a half before expected, after his transfer in the summer. The meeting between Ausilio and Percassi will serve to renegotiate the bonuses agreed on in the summer aside from the €8 million spent by Suning to sign the rights of the player.”

Inter completed Bastoni’s signing back in the summer mercato but loaned him right back to Atalanta to allow him to continue his development. However, with defensive cover thin on the ground after Zinho Vanheusden’s long term injury, the Nerazzurri have been forced in to bringing him back early to provide the cover they need.

Bastoni has been a regular for La Dea’s Primavera and despite being in the first team squad pretty often too, he has managed just one Serie A appearance this season. The 18-year-old Italian youth international is under contract with Inter through to 2022.
