How Inter plan to manage Bastoni after underage prostitution investigation | OneFootball

Alessandro Bastoni is currently under investigation as part of a probe into alleged underage prostitution, but Inter are not planning on making any rash decisions over an exit for the Italy international, despite potential interest from Real Madrid.

What next for Bastoni and Inter after prostitution investigation?

Earlier this week, Bastoni received a formal notification that he is part of an investigation amidst allegations that he paid for sexual relations with a 17-year-old girl back in June of 2020.

The young woman in question has already been heard by prosecutors and has insisted that no sexual relationship took place. Reports indicate that Bastoni maintains the same stance.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter were in immediate contact with Bastoni upon learning the news earlier this week and have expressed their support for the centre-back, who will not be left to tackle this case on his own.

Inter are not actively seeking a sale of Bastoni as a result of the investigation, but as is the case for several Nerazzurri players, if an enticing offer were to come in this summer, the club and player would sit down to discuss it.

There had been rumours of interest from Barcelona earlier this summer, but that path appears to have faded away. La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that sources in Spain are whispering about interest from Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid, but there has been no formal contact between the Spanish and Italian sides as things stand,
