While the Bastoni deal has ground to a halt for now, Juventus are making their presence felt in the talks between Inter and Sassuolo. They are owed 50 percent of the income, Corriere dello Sport informs. While the defender appears to have made his choice, as he feels he was discarded by the Bianconeri, the Old Lady is trying to drive up his price tag.
The reigning Italian champions value the Bosnian international roughly €25M and would like to use a youngster as a partial makeweight. The Turin-based outfit is opposing such a proposition. Sassuolo ask for €30/35M. A rich transfer to the Premier League would satisfy the sellers.
The early chatter often gets lost in the thick of the window. It looks like the Italian ace is open to going to Catalunya, but not adamant about it, and that there’s a significant gap between offer and request. Still, there’s plenty of time to close it if and when the wills will coincide. The Nerazzurri could be more lenient if they had his replacement in the bag.
