Bastoni’s Quiet Rebellion: I Wanted to Leave Inter During Conte’s Era
23 December 2025
Key Moments in Bastoni's Inter Journey
The Italian defender Alessandro Bastoni revealed that he wanted to leave Inter Milan during Antonio Conte's tenure.
He told Totomercato that he joined Inter in the year Conte arrived, at a time when players like Skriniar, Godin, Ranocchia, D'Ambrosio and De Vrij were at the club.
He added, "My agent witnessed my wish to leave on loan at any cost, because I didn't feel ready to play at this level, especially after only 25 games with Parma."
Nevertheless Conte insisted on his stay and told him he would be given chances to play, and that's what happened. Since then, Bastoni has seized every important moment to feature; it was hard to join such a strong group and seize the opportunities, but he performed well.
It is worth noting that Bastoni is regarded as one of the top defenders Barcelona is keen to recruit in future transfer windows.
Punchline 1: Bastoni's transfer saga proves patience is a weapon—Conte's sniper scope must have a long battery life.
Punchline 2: If you think that was dramatic, wait for the next transfer window—it's basically a reality show with a better budget for office chairs.
