DBasia.news – Manchester City had wanted to sign Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan last summer. Despite being given a fantastic offer, the Nerazzurri were still reluctant to let go of their young player.
Manchester City are trying to fix their defense last summer. The manager, Pep Guardiola is still looking for the right person to replace Vincent Kompany’s role.
The Citizens then made their choice on Nathan Ake. The Dutch defender was brought off at a price of 40 million pounds.
But between the time, Manchester City also tried to bring Bastoni. The British giant has even prepared more money than Ake’s transfer.
Reporting from Corriere dello Sport, Manchester City offered 50 million euros or 44 million pounds to Inter. However, La Beneamata’s management is not interested in releasing Bastoni at any price.
Inter management seems to want to make Bastoni their backbone to return to glory. With only 21 years of age, the player can be much more developed than he is now.
Inter themselves spent around 31 million euros when bringing Bastoni from Atalanta in 2017. After that, they also immediately lent him to Parma for a season.
Bastoni was recalled to the Giuseppe Meazza shortly after Antonio Conte was appointed as coach at the start of last season. Until now, he has played in 40 matches until he was called up to the Italian national team.
