I don’t know what they’re saying in Spain, but we’re happy with what Bastoni has given to Inter, and we’re sure he’ll give a lot more. “If anyone is interested in Bastoni, they know the phone numbers, so they should do that, they shouldn’t just talk.”Reports in Spain have claimed today that Barcelona are the only club that could tempt Bastoni away from San Siro and that the defender is not interested in a move to Liverpool despite interest from the Reds.
