Liverpool Target Inter Milan Defender Alessandro Bastoni
Liverpool are targeting Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni. The Reds will face competition from Newcastle United and Manchester City for the Italian centre‑back in the summer transfer window.
Bastoni, 27, appeared in 40 matches for Inter Milan last season. He contributed two goals and six assists across all competitions. The Italy international has been described as one of Serie A’s most consistent centre‑backs.
His contract with Inter Milan runs until the summer of 2028. Liverpool would need to present a convincing offer to secure his services before then.
Bastoni is noted for strong tackling, good reading of danger and tidy passing from the back. At 1.90 m he wins aerial duels and can clear lines when opponents attack. At 27 he is entering his peak years, making him a potential regular starter for Liverpool under Andoni Iraola at Anfield. The defender could add bite and steel to the Liverpool defence if the club can obtain him for a reasonable fee.
