Reports suggest Manchester City have suffered a blow in their attempt to sign Alessandro Bastoni.
Bastoni, 23, has earned rave reviews for his performances at Inter Milan and the centre-back has already picked up 17 caps for the Italian national team. He progressed through the Atalanta system and spent time on loan with Parma before making his name at the San Siro with 131 appearances in Serie A to date for those clubs.
However, the left-footer has extensively been linked with a move to the Premier League with champions City and Tottenham among those in the queue. Bastoni cost Inter around €30million when he headed there in 2017.
