He too with many suitors and admired by sporting director Piero Ausilio at the World Cup, his name remained on the executive table
With the championship having temporarily stopped, Inter is now focused on the transfer market and is planning moves to strengthen the team for the future. And Piero Ausilio, present in Qatar for the World Cup, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, would have targeted a very talented defender, Piero HincapieBayer Leverkusen’s Ecuadorian: “Certainly, the Nerazzurri don’t want to be caught unprepared if there were a box to fill. The panorama must in any case be observed from above, at 360 degrees: from the poker game for the renewal of Skriniar, which has now last hand, to the positions of De Vrij and Acerbi, both in the making. even Alessandro Bastoni (deadline 2024) is no longer so sure of having a long future at Inter: by age and perspective, he is one of the most captivating defenders on the square and the exploratory calls from the Premier League, even in recent days, have not stopped.
In short, the blue has never left the category of “expendable” and, to protect themselves in case he is sold on the altar of accounts (by 30 June), the Nerazzurri have started to look around with a certain insistence. In the past, the Ecuadorian idea has already touched other Italian teams, above all Napoli and Milan, but as the months go by, Inter could deepen, also because they are enraptured by the ductility of a very modern centre-back: not only is he suitable for playing 3 (or 4 ), but if necessary he could also move to the wing by solving other problems for Inzaghi.
A year ago he ended up in the Bundesliga for 8 million plus bonuses, with the blessing of the president of Talleres, the Argentine team he had spent a year with after his debut at Independiente del Valle, just a half hour’s drive from the capital Quito: “In perspective, he is the best central defender in South America…”, his manager had ruled before selling him. Growing up with the myth of Puyol, he has so much personality that he could give some to whoever is next to him: «For me there is no turnover …», he thundered one day. Even in this case, however, competition abounds, and Antonio Conte himself with Tottenham is a real threat: we will think on a basis of 30 million and, at the right time, with a mini-treasury collected from sales, Inter he will want to take the pole position”, it reads.
