According to Corriere dello Sport, Inter Milan central defender Alessandro Bastoni may have to consider a move to Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.
The Italian publication have reported that although Bastoni does not want to leave Inter, if the former Italian champions accept a bid from Tottenham, then he will consider his stance.
Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte is reportedly keen on the 23-year-old left-footed centre-back, who is happy at Inter and does not fancy an exit from the former Serie A champions.
Inter want €70 million (£60.09m) as transfer fee for Bastoni, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The Times claimed this week that Bastoni does not fancy a move to Tottenham, but Corriere dello Sport’s report suggests that he may have to make a U-turn over that stance.
Alessandro Bastoni boost for Tottenham Hotspur
In our view, Tottenham Hotspur have just received a boost in their quest to sign Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan.
It seems that if Tottenham show the money, then Inter will sell the centre-back.
Now, of course, the Italy international may hold his ground and not leave, but that is unlikely to happen.
If a club wants a player gone, then nine times out of time he will go.
Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte worked with Bastoni at Inter, and the former Chelsea boss could be able to convince the youngster why a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would be good for him.
