Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu cannot guarantee keeping hold of Alessandro Bastoni over the summer.
The Italy defender, who has endured a difficult few weeks for club and country, is a target for Barcelona.
And his coach cannot deny that Bastoni may be sold at season's end.
Chivu commented: “I can’t control his future or what he wants to do. I only know that he’s very happy to be at Inter and part of this wonderful group.
"He’s always given his all, that’s what matters to me; in fact, as long as he’s here, he’ll give more than 100% for us. Whether it’s two months or two years…
"Besides, he’s strong and knows how to make the right decisions. Regardless of what he does, world football will always have a player of great quality. I’d be happy if he stayed, but I’d also be happy to stay. These are the uncertainties of football, for a coach.”
