Report: How Spurs-linked Bastoni has reacted to Inter’s latest contract offer
CalcioMercato have revealed that Tottenham target Alessandro Bastoni has asked for time to consider Inter Milan’s latest contract offer.
The report reveals that Inter have accelerated their efforts to tie Bastoni down to a new deal, whose current contract at the San Siro runs until 2024 (Transfermarkt).
It is explained that the Serie A club want to avoid a similar situation to that of Milan Skriniar, whereby the Italian international enters the final year of his deal.
Inter have allegedly met with Bastoni’s entourage, who have made it clear that the centre-back wants to continue at the San Siro.
The Nerazzurri are said to have proposed a salary of €4.5m (£3.9m), which is a 50 per cent increase to the current €3m (£2.6m) that the defender earns, thus making him one of the highest-paid players in the squad.
Calcio Mercato add that Bastoni has asked for time to reflect on the offer before responding to the club.
The report asserts that the 23-year-old has no shortage of admirers, including Antonio Conte’s Tottenham, who are said to be at the front of the queue for the player while Pep Guardiola’s Man City have ‘repeatedly tried to get information’ about the centre-back.

Now that Gvardiol looks beyond Tottenham’s reach, the club could pull all stops to sign Bastoni next summer. I suspect Spurs would be in touch with the 23-year-old’s representatives and would likely be promising him a substantially higher salary than the £3.9m Inter have reportedly proposed.
