Inter manager Antonio Conte was absolutely desperate for Gaetano Castrovilli to be signed in the January transfer market according to a report in today’s print edition of Corriere della Sera.
Conte wanted Castrovilli so much and was even willing to let him stay with Fiorentina until the remainder of the season to try and sweeten any deal for Fiorentina but La Viola rejected Inter’s proposal for the 23-year-old.
Castrovilli has been one of the biggest revelations of the Serie A season and there are almost reports daily which state Inter remain interested in signing him and want to bring him in in the upcoming Summer transfer window.
Fiorentina value him in the region of €40 million and the report from the Milan based newspaper states that this does not put Inter off at all and they will try to sign him again in the coming months.
This season Castrovilli has made 26 appearances, in which he has scored three goals and provided two assists.
