Inter Milan have added Roma defender Gianluca Mancini to their shortlist of potential Bastoni replacements as they plan for a summer that could see their entire defensive unit overhauled.
Acerbi, De Vrij and Darmian all depart when their contracts expire.
Bastoni’s future grows increasingly uncertain with Barcelona’s interest intensifying by the week.
The backline is the most pressing priority of the transfer window.
According to reports from L’Interista, Mancini has returned to Inter’s radar as a potential solution.
The 1996-born centre-back has been a fixture in Roma’s starting lineup, featuring in 29 matches this season with two assists, and carries experience across Serie A and European competition.
Roma Man Mancini Experience & Italy Credentials Appeal To Inter Milan
His Italy international pedigree adds further appeal.
Inter need defenders who can step in without a lengthy adaptation period and maintain the defensive standards Chivu demands.
Mancini’s current market value sits at around €15 million.
Indeed, a reasonable figure given his profile, with his contract at Roma running until 2027.
Whether Roma would be willing to sell to a direct domestic rival remains a significant question.
But with Inter facing the prospect of rebuilding from scratch at the back, the need to cast the net wide is clear, and Mancini is now firmly part of that conversation.
Mancini s terrible as Bastoni.
No way. Let’s be fair and say Italy was terrbile in the last 3 World Cup Qualifiers. Italy was so terrible for not being able to score the penalties vs Bosnia. But of course, they didn’t score because of Bastoni.
Many people here blame it all on Bastoni. I guess Bastoni is to blame for Italy being crushed by Norway – in both matches by 3 goals margin. Home and away. That’s what Italy national team is these days. With or without Bastoni. Just accept that!
We all have bad days at work. Don’t tell me that you are perfect at your job, every f… minut. And if you have a bad day than you will be shown the exit door imediatly.
If I support Inter than this doesn’t mean I have to support Italy national team. My national team didn’t qualify for the World Cup…
They can post 500 articles a day proposing absurd, nonsensical speculation articles about transfers that make no sense. I feel ashamed every time I spend 45 seconds reading it.
