Inter Milan center-back Alessandro Bastoni continues to be heavily linked with a big-money summer move to Barcelona.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Italian defender’s difficulties in Serie A continued last weekend.
The 26-year-old’s career has taken a dramatic downturn in recent months.
Indeed, his Derby d’Italia antics in February made him one of the most unpopular figures in the country.
Serie A fans have been booing the former Atalanta man at every stadium since the incident with Pierre Kalulu.
Nothing changed last weekend when Inter faced Como at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
Barcelona Pursuit of Inter Milan Stalwart Alessandro Bastoni Handed Huge Boost
Como supporters once again targeted Alessandro Bastoni with jeers throughout the match.
Furthermore, Cristian Chivu had to take off his starting center-back at the start of the second half to protect him from further hostility.
Despite never showing any ambition to leave San Siro, Bastoni could change his mind in light of recent events.
Meanwhile, this must be music to Barcelona’s ears. Indeed, the Catalan giants are keen to make Bastoni their marquee summer signing.
However, there’s no doubt that they’ll have to shell out north of €60 million to convince Inter to sanction the sale.
Ban these supporters asap. No need for all that hate. We need Bastoni at inter. Block all transfers unless offer of 100 mil arrives.
Juve started this ridiculous witch hunt as a way to destabilize Bastoni and inter. They do it to the detriment of Italian football because they only care about Juve. It’s shameful and absurd.
How are we to take this media seriously when they do things like that. And then they are also not happy when the coach brings it up. So…a complete circus.
I totally understabd Bastoni situation. We must win Scudetto this season because next season we won’t make even top 4.
if this happened in other countries – they would implement a stadium wide ban of whistling against the player as this is a form of mental abuse. it’s going above the normal to the constant insult. There is no difference to racism at a player to this targeted hatred towards Bastoni. Start fining clubs and stopping the game to say over the stadium speakers that the targeted whistling behavior is unacceptable. If he leaves Serie A because of this, what do you think other fans of rival teams will do to Yaldiz, or Marlon or Leao etc. Constant whistling to try and weaken your opponents team so their players leave the league.
Marco…maybe you should stop reading the yellow pages.
