Bastoni on the market, the sale changes everything for Romero and Jones

The fate of the Nerazzurri’s transfer market could depend on Alessandro Bastoni. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the position of the Italian defender represents the variable that can change the balance of ongoing negotiations, from Cristian Romero to Curtis Jones.

The arrival of Stones has completed the defensive department, but the Pavard issue remains open. The Frenchman has returned after Marseille failed to redeem him and is on the market, mainly due to his net salary of 5 million. The club is waiting for an adequate offer for his transfer.

Meanwhile, Inter continues to follow Romero from Tottenham. The Argentine defender is expensive but has been shown the door by De Zerbi. The initial asking price was 40 million, a figure that makes the deal complicated. A similar situation concerns Jones: the Nerazzurri are waiting in the wings, hoping that the Reds and Spurs will agree to compromise on the financial terms.

The real unknown is Bastoni. The defender has attracted interest from Spain and Saudi Arabia, but no concrete offers have arrived yet. La Gazzetta emphasizes that any proposals would be evaluated very carefully: with an extra 60-70 million available, the Nerazzurri’s transfer market could take on a very different shape compared to the current scenario.
