Alessandro Bastoni

Hopefully this doesn’t drag on too long into the summer …

They need the money by the end of the month, no?

I would get Pau Torres now rather than dragging on with Inter for the whole summer

We want 2 centre backs apparently so maybe get 1 centre back in the meantime. I would keep this alive since he's the one Conte wants. Torres could be held onto for a bit since we still have Lo Celso as incentive so as long as they don't sell to Utd maybe we can wait. Ideally a centre back who can play central or left centre back would be good for now.

Let's see who blinks first. I heard a rumour that Fabio Imacookin Paratici hasn't blinked since 1986.

As the transfer windows in Italy & Spain don't open until 1st July there might be behind the scenes negotiations for Bastoni/Torres/Bremer etc but another 21 days before any transfers can take place from those countries, only 3 more weeks of speculation.

I am pretty sure he blinked at least once in June 2021.

Screws inter up if they need money by end of June !!

valencia Yid did a thumbs up to this article.

‘’This??’’

Whilst this might be right and it could still happen, we risk this turning into a saga imo. One thing we know is that Inter will do anything they can to generate the money from elsewhere, and if that means them waiting as late as possible then so be it. It could drag on and on and by that point we might get our pants pulled down when Torres and other backups have already moved elsewhere and we're then scrambling for second rate options. FP has to make the call and set a strict deadline.

It's all speculation and rumour , Inter re-financed their debt in January of this year, that was in the FT so a trusted source of info.
Most internet rumours are just rubbish, remember not long ago Poch was going to be sacked and Conte taking over at PSG this summer. !!!!

That's not how it works. All it means is that Italian & Spanish clubs can't register any new players with their respective FAs until their window opens - not really an issue as they don't have any fixtures between now and July 1st. They can still buy & sell players outside of the window.

OK thanks, make more sense if the major European leagues had the same window , England & France are the same but Germany, Italy & Spain start later.

PS. Just a thought , if Inter were willing to let Bastoni go but needed to sign a replacement from say a Spanish club , why would they take the chance of something going wrong if they can't register the replacement as their player until 1st July .

If I’m Inter, as mentioned before, I’m selling Lautaro over Bastoni. Especially if I could maybe bring In Lukaku and Dybala. The fact they actually considered or are considering selling Bastoni is nuts to me.

I've been very sceptical of this £50m by end of June information. I just doubt that a company would divulge that information to anyone to the extent that the whole world's seems to know.

You've obviously never worked with agents in any line of service industry.

They certainly have financial problems as this article points out but needing the money by June 30 ? , didn't know AC Milan had breached a loan deal. perhaps they need money who can we buy off them. .

I might be wrong, but I think this idea that Inter have an 'end of June' deadline may just be a misunderstanding. There's a change in Italian tax rules being implemented on July 1st which will mean that any contracts for non-italian players will become subject to the highest rate of tax. Players signed on or before June 30th will benefit from the lower tax rate for the first 3 years of their contract. This obviously gives a big incentive for Italian clubs to have their incoming business done before the end of this month.

Like I say, I could be wrong and maybe there's another separate reason why Inter need money by June 30th.

My favourite thing about these sketches (some of Big Train was excellent but it was a bit hit and miss) was that they got Barry Bazza Davies to commentate them. Incredible coup.

 

[wearetheparklane]

It sounds like he doesn't really want to join us... so if he were forced why does anyone think that would be a good idea? We have seen the problems with spending big on players who dont want to be here even if they have unbelievable talent. Give me a driven, motivated player with less talent over a more talented but uninterested player every day.

 

[piedpiper]

I'm not sure it will be a lower fee.

I doubt they'd be asking £51 million...surely not. Roughly 40 million max i'd day.

Didn't they pay 20m. Prem tax on top, and probably don't want to sell. 40m wouldn't be enough.

That’s why they call him Dry-Eyes McFab
