Bastoni back on the radar: City, Chelsea and Liverpool keen | OneFootball

Alessandro Bastoni is once again emerging as one of the most highly valued defenders on the market. The left-footed Inter Milan center-back, who was on the radar of Real Madrid and Barcelona last summer, is once again attracting interest from the Premier League.

Alessandro Bastoni’s future could once again become one of the major talking points of the next transfer window. The 27-year-old Italian remains an important player for Inter, but his contract situation is keeping several of Europe’s top clubs on alert.

According to TEAMtalk, Manchester City and Chelsea have shown interest in the defender and are considering the possibility of strengthening their back line with one of the most outstanding left-footed center-backs in European football.

City, Chelsea and Liverpool keeping an eye on Bastoni

Premier League interest adds to the attention Bastoni has already received from other top clubs. Manchester City and Chelsea are said to be monitoring his situation, while Liverpool have also emerged as one of the teams in the race for the player.

Bastoni’s appeal is not limited to his defensive ability. His profile as a left-footed center-back, his experience at the highest level, and his ability to contribute to build-up play make him an especially valuable asset for teams looking for defenders capable of starting attacks from the back.

Inter already rejected a departure for €65 million

Last summer, Real Madrid and Barcelona also showed interest in the Italy international. However, Inter set a valuation of around €65 million, a figure that ultimately made any deal difficult.

Bastoni ultimately stayed in Milan and remains under contract with the Italian side, although his current deal runs until 2028.

This situation could become a decisive factor going forward. If the player does not reach an agreement to renew, Inter could find themselves needing to consider a sale before his contract enters its final stretch.

How much will Inter ask for next summer?

The big question will be the valuation the Italian club sets in the next transfer window. The previously reported €65 million price tag could once again serve as a reference point, although the player’s contract situation and competition from several clubs could influence the terms of any potential deal.

For now, Bastoni remains an Inter player, but Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are already among the clubs closely monitoring his future.
