Alessandro Bastoni and Stefan de Vrij could leave Inter in the summer and La Gazzetta dello Sport explains Inter’s strategy to replace their star defenders.

The Italy international has been linked with Manchester United and Tottenham, where he would reunite with Antonio Conte.

Inter are open to selling their centre-back for €60m and are waiting for offers for Stefan de Vrij, who hasn’t been offered a contract extension.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A giants have already reached an agreement with Torino defender Gleison Bremer but have not shaken hands with the Granata. Many clubs are interested in the Brazilian centre-back and Torino President Urbano Cairo hopes in a bidding war for the 25-year-old.

Inter transfer news: all the options to replace Tottenham-bound Perisic

Fiorentina‘s Nikola Milenkovic and Lazio‘s Francesco Acerbi have also emerged as options for the Nerazzurri.

The Italy international is no longer on good terms with Lazio fans and his agent Federico Pastorello has offered him to the Nerazzurri along with Federico Bernardeschi. However, the Serie A giants can’t bring in reinforcements if they don’t sell some of their players first.

They would prefer not to part ways with Bastoni, but their financial issues will force them to do so if they receive offers in the region of €60m and the same goes for his teammate de Vrij who has a lower price tag.

Once Inter know how much they’ll get from their sales, they will decide which defender they can afford as a replacement, bearing in mind Suning’s need to balance the books.

  1. Now i’m a Milan fan but for the life of me…2 players on Inter i wouldn’t even think about getting rid of would be Skriniar & Bastoni. Both excellent CB’s.

  2. @Urban Sombrero, from your lips to my ears, I hope you are correct, Suning needs to get out of Italy for good, they are too cheap and I don’t think will be a good future owners.

  3. Keep Bastoni, Skriniar and Barella. Everyone else can be replaced.

  4. Fade Lautaro for 70-80M. Keep Pinamonti for free. Buy Bremer, Sell d’Vrij.
    Buy Scamacca, Loose Dzeko & Corea

    Don’t even think about Lukaku. !!!!!!!! He made his bed & we got a good price.
