Cristi Chivu wants Casemiro! » Accord Sticks

Although Inter's vice-president, Javier Zanetti, stated that, “at the moment, the focus is on Serie A and the Italian Cup, only then will we think about the mercato”, in the background things are already moving.

A new target of Cristi Chivu for the summer transfer window has become Casemiro. The 34-year-old Brazilian is out of contract with Manchester United at the end of the current season and has publicly stated that he will not renew it.

The Brazilians write that Inter want to strengthen their midfield with Casemiro

And the Brazilian portal “Tupi” writes that the Nerazzurri are closely monitoring the midfielder's situation, considering it “a transfer opportunity to strengthen their midfield”.

The same “Tupi” reveals that “the player intends to carefully evaluate every sports project that will be proposed to him in the coming period. The competitiveness of the league, participation in European cups, the coach's style of play and his role on the pitch will carry at least as much weight as the salary he will be offered.

Staying at the top of European football is considered a key factor. This explains his caution in accepting offers from leagues such as the Arab League or MLS.”

Alessandro Bastoni has negotiated his contract with Barcelona

On the other hand, Inter look ever closer to losing centre-back Alessandro Bastoni. Mundo Deportivo revealed that the player is open to a transfer to Barcelona, ​​and his manager has negotiated the terms of the contract with the Catalan club.

“The situation is under control regarding the player”, Mundo Deportivo journalists learned from a source within the Blaugrana group. It remains now for sporting director Deco to convince Inter's bosses as well.

Gazzetta dello Sport writes that the Nerazzurri group valued Bastoni at 70-80 million euros, but Barcelona does not want to offer more than 55-60 million. The Italian international has a contract with Inter until July 1, 2028.
