The Italian press continues to report Manchester City’s interest in Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni.
It had first been Calcio Mercato who claimed that Pep Guardiola’s side had been scouting the 20-year-old lately.
Now it’s Tuttosport who brings a story on it, claiming that he’s been showing ‘enormous potential’ at the Serie A side and ended up receiving attention from Manchester City’s transfer team.
But just like Calcio Mercato, Tuttosport are also very confident that Bastoni will end up staying at Inter Milan. They say he’s set to sign a new contract at the end of the season, and commit himself to the club until 2024.
That’s why the newspaper says it would be really hard for the Premier League side to land the defender, and they don’t even mention how much would be enough to convince Inter.
They say the youngster has really impressed manager Antonio Conte, who now considers him to be ‘untouchable’.
