Inter Milan center-back Alessandro Bastoni has reportedly made a final decision on his future amid intense interest from Barcelona.
According to Mundo Deportivo via FCInter1908, the 26-year-old is enthusiastic about joining the Catalan club in the summer.
Despite his household status at San Siro, Alessandro Bastoni could wave goodbye to his homeland in the coming months.
Indeed, Bastoni’s reputation has taken several hits since the start of the calendar year.
In addition to his Derby d’Italia shenanigans, the Italian defender emerged as one of the main culprits for the Azzurri’s fiasco in the FIFA World Cup playoffs.
Therefore, his future at Inter is hanging by a thread, with Barcelona ready to offer him an escape route from Serie A at the end of the season.
Inter Milan Star Alessandro Bastoni Makes Decision on His Future Amid Barcelona Rumors
Kept in high esteem by head coach Cristian Chivu, Bastoni is reportedly open to staying at San Siro.
Moreover, it is his priority. However, his life in Serie A has become unbearable due to mounting criticism and constant boos from opposing fans.
Therefore, the former Atalanta man would reportedly embrace a move to Barcelona in the summer.
Meanwhile, he has already informed the club of his intention to stay. Furthermore, he is reluctant to continue his career in the Premier League.
As such, he’ll either stay at Inter next season or join the Blaugrana.
bastoni is a sound pedament of inter. whether he stays or not, it’s his choice. if he leaves Italy, it doesn’t mean that nobody is going to boo him!!! on the contrary. it stimulates opposing fans to do it. this story shows the poor mentality of the Italian football followers. he is not the first and surely not the last to do such a thing. as regards his dismissal in the national knock out, HOW ABOUT EXPOSING THE REAL CULPRITS??? TO START EITH, THE COACH KNEW THAT HE WAS BACK FROM AN INJURY, THAT HE DID NOT PLAY FOR HIS CLUB FOR ABOUT 3MATCHES. HOW ABOUT PLAYING JIM IN A DIFFERENT POSITION BY THE COACH??? HOW ABOUT THE WRONG BALL DISTRIBUTION BY GOALKEEPER,?? HOW ABOUT LOCATELLI LOOSING THE BALL IN MIDFIELD, THEN MANCINI LOST HIS MAN, AND HE HAD TO SPRINT FROM THE VENTRE TO COVER HIM. YET EVERYONE BLAMES BASTONI FOR DOING HIS JOB. LETS BE REALISTIC. HE KNOWS HOW MUCH HE IS LOVED AND CARED FOR AT INTER. WE SUPPORT HIM INFINITELY. MAY HIS WISDOM AND GOOD SENSE BRINGS HIM TO THE RIGHT DECISION.
unfortunately when it comes to the Italian football fan scene and to a certain extent the governance of figc, is highly influenced and dominated by emotions rathe than cool intelligent thinking. the mentality needs to be reformed
