Under-fire defender Alessandro Bastoni could reportedly end his nine-year association with Inter Milan in the summer.
According to Corriere della Sera via FCInter1908, there are three reasons why the 26-year-old could depart San Siro in the coming months.
La Liga giants Barcelona have earmarked the former Atalanta man as their top target ahead of the summer transfer window.
Furthermore, the recent turn of events could help the Blaugrana lure the Italian star away from Serie A.
Indeed, Bastoni’s career has reached its lowest point, and a summer exit could be the best option to get back on track.
Three Reasons Why Alessandro Bastoni Could Leave Inter Milan
In addition to giving away a cheap penalty against Liverpool in the Champions League group/league phase, Bastoni has recently made a series of blunders.
For starters, his antics in February’s Derby d’Italia clash made him one of the least popular figures in Serie A.
Indeed, Alessandro Bastoni managed to trick referee Federico La Penna into unfairly dismissing Pierre Kalulu.
Since then, fans all over the country have been booing the Nerazzurri stalwart.
However, Bastoni’s biggest mistake came yesterday as he received a straight red card in Italy’s decisive FIFA World Cup qualifier.
Last night’s expulsion against Bosnia & Herzegovina has put the player’s standing with fans under further scrutiny.
As things stand, he looks closer to leaving his homeland than staying.
