Not sure why people are pretending this is more game playing. He’s just had a meeting with Inter where the two possibilities were likely that Inter would either have to sell him or that they’d be selling other players instead, and he’s come out definitely saying he’s staying.

It’s done guys, let’s hope Gvardiol or Torres are still on the table.

That sounds pretty emphatic. Why do we have to keep trying to deal with this ridiculous club?

Guess it'll be Torres. Hope Conte is happy with that one (think he will be ok with it).

I suspect they'll be moving on Skriniar instead now.

Bastoni’s agent, Skriniar and Lautaro have all announced they’re staying. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure inter have to sell at least one of them?

Looks like it won't be happening then. Can't fault the club at all we were willing to pay what it took but its not to be.

Gutted as I really like the player and am not overly fussed on Torres (if that is 5he back up option).

At least we found out early. We move.

?

If that's really the case then I'm not sure what's happened as it was all looking very positive.

Will hold off for a little while to see if I hear anything and whether anymore quotes come out.

I think it's safe to say nothing is a given when Inter Milan are involved.

Bastoni's agent has come out and said it right after a meeting with the Inter board though. Slightly different.

This is clearly posturing, we need to make sure we call their bluff with our own posturing, let's sign Pau Torres and see if Inter panic and sell us Bastoni, classic posturing 101 that.

I'm still clinging onto a shred of hope. Delph did an interview saying he definitely wasn't leaving and then trotted off a week later If I recall correctly. I'm choosing to believe that this is all to make Bastoni look like the good guy when Inter sell him to us.......shut up and let me live in denial

We should go in hard for Bremer. Get a talented CB and piss off Inter -- who always seem to take the piss when its about us.

Shocked I haven't seen a post of someone wondering if this is Paratici trying to force Inter's hand.

i will say, as incredible as bastoni is on the ball, i had serious concerns about him defensively in england

Sort of wish we'd somehow manage to just sign Bremer from under their noses now. Bremer and Torres and we'd still be very well set.
