Bastoni staying put as Sommer rejects Inter extension

Bastoni's agent: he's staying

Alessandro Bastoni is going nowhere. His agent has moved to shut down any transfer speculation, stating plainly: "He has two years left on his contract and is happy at Inter, it's his home, he will stay... for sure." (1) The 27-year-old centre-back remains a cornerstone of this Inter side, and that message will land well with fans tired of seeing key players linked with moves away.

Sommer says no to extension

Yann Sommer has decided not to extend his contract, which expires next summer. (2) The Swiss goalkeeper's refusal puts Inter in a tricky spot: you now need a new No. 1 for the 2027/28 season. Ajax are reportedly monitoring the situation with interest as they hunt for a goalkeeper of their own.

Gusto on the shortlist

Inter have Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto on their radar. (3) With Denzel Dumfries heading to Real Madrid, the club is working through full-back options and the 23-year-old Frenchman features on that list. The deal wouldn't come cheap, but it signals where Inter are looking to reinforce.

Fan reactions

The mood among Inter fans is pragmatic but upbeat. The Dumfries exit feels inevitable to most, and the real talking point is how the club reinvests. There's also buzz around Henrikh Mkhitaryan reportedly extending for another season, with one fan quoting Inter's sporting director praising the Armenian's unique ability to manage his own career.
