Tottenham, Man Utd listen in as Bastoni agent confirms summer decision that will ‘certainly’ come true

The agent of Alessandro Bastoni has delivered a hammer blow to any hopes Manchester United, Chelsea or Tottenham had of signing the Inter Milan defender.

Bastoni is one of the most highly-rated defenders in Serie A. He helped Inter win the Scudetto in 2021 and was part of the squad that lifted the Supercoppa Italiana and Coppa Italia this year.

However, his future at the club has been unclear in recent weeks. Inter’s need to keep their finances balanced has put him at risk, given he is one of their most marketable players.

What’s more, the Italian’s contract is only due to run until 2024. Therefore, this could be their best time to make a decision on his future, one way or another.

His agent, Tullio Tinti, has previously reminded that Bastoni must consider his options as a professional. Even so, his preferred option would be to remain with Inter.

Tinti met with Bastoni’s current employers on Wednesday to further discuss his situation. The centre-half has been linked with a reunion with Antonio Conte at Tottenham, or a move elsewhere in the Premier League with Chelsea or Man Utd.
