Inter Milan have successfully kept hold of Alessandro Bastoni in news which comes as a significant blow to Manchester United and Tottenham just hours before the summer transfer window opens.
The Premier League duo were linked with the Italy international as they aim to address deficiencies at the heart of their respective defences. Bastoni, 23, won the Coppa Italia with Inter this season and Serie A the previous campaign, while he was also part of the Azzurri squad which triumphed at Euro 2020 last summer.
He extended his contract at San Siro last year and has two seasons remaining on his deal in Lombardy. Bastoni's agent, Tullio Tinti, met with Inter chiefs on Wednesday afternoon and declared his client "will definitely stay" with the club as he emerged from the talks.
