Good luck finding a left footed cb with excellent attacking contribution who also loves the club. If you don't realise how special a player like Bastoni is (the type of player Pep freaking Guardiola KILLS to have) then i don't really know what to say to you. You will realise his importance in our game when Skriniar and Bremer throw the ball to Brozovic next season because they can't play from the back.

And this young couple, with their little baby, forced to move to London (or even worse, fucking Manchester). Maybe we can include some resale-clause to the deal (to lower the price if we want to buy him back) and/or right of first refusal. Can totally see Bastoni wanting back in a few years.

We wont get Bremer either. DiMarco Skriniar DAmbro is our defence next season.

I don't think he's leaving.

Problem is that one of Lautaro and Barella will be forced out and they both refuse to leave, so Marotta will look to sell Bastoni or Skriniar instead. Who also refuse to leave.

I actually don't buy it that management is doing these selections. I believe more in the theory they just sell the player who they can sell at this point ie. player who is getting offers and specifically big enough offers.

My theory is we've told the agents of the players to look for new clubs and agents might have told if their client is absolutely not going to move. I can see Bastoni being more interested moving out of Inter than Skriniar, Barella and Lautaro who all have kids. And this is not a dig at Bastoni, not at all. This is just empathy towards the players, Bastoni might have less restrictions to move than those other 3. He had offers from EPL last summer too.

I think it will be very hard to replace Bastoni's impact, very hard to say if Barella is harder to replace than him. Lautaro is surely super hard to replace, forwards at his tier cost a ton.
Bastoni also has a kid.

It really saddens me that we are even thinking about selling this guy. He's an absolute gem, really rare kind of a defender. I can see him becoming one of, if not the best, defenders in the world. He is also Italian, so if we don't force him out, he wil probably play here for another 12 years...

His story is writtenl. He will be sold to Spurs or Man City for a pathetic sum and he will flop. Juve will pounce on the opportunity to bring him back while we chase the likes of Romagnoli and Bastoni will become a juve legend for the next decade.

thats perfect, refuse to leave and force the management to actually work rather be lazy and sell out important players

I'm not worried...too much. Only a bit. People were panicking when Cambiasso got old and we somehow found Brozović and later the right role for him. Players come, players go.

I would hate to see him go since he's a unicorn as far defenders go, but no player in this current Inter is off limits for other clubs. Just depends on the money we get for them.

I hate it as much as you guys, because we started a winning cycle, but we've been walking on a thin line as far finances go for some time now. Obligatory Fuck Zhang, Fuck Suning inserted here.

What does it mean now? Is it a goodbye or he's staying?

BASTONI SENDS CLEAR MESSAGE TO INTER AMID MAN UNITED, CITY AND TOTTENHAM LINKS​

“It was a long and eventful season, with many tough evenings, full of unexpected events. But there were just as many satisfying nights: the Supercoppa, the Coppa Italia and when we conquered Anfield, even if it was not enough to qualify.

“A united team that has faced every game and every training with the seriousness and determination that led us to end this season not as we would have liked but in a positive way, showing character and desire to fight.

“Thanks to the teammates and fans for helping to make these months even more special and unforgettable.

“You can’t change the past, but what you can do is always give your best to make the future more and more coloured in Black and Blue. Amala.”
Of course he wants to stay. He has the freedom to reject offers ;)

If the club sells him for anything less than 80M, I`ll take a break until new ownership takes over.

He has the freedom to reject but im sure they'll give him little choice.
