Chelsea ready €80m for Bastoni, join Real Madrid and Barça race | OneFootball

Alessandro Bastoni is once again at the center of the European transfer market. The Inter Milan defender, considered one of the key pieces of the Italian side, has reportedly once again attracted the interest of several European giants, and now Chelsea would be willing to make a major investment to secure his services.

The 27-year-old Italian center-back has been a key figure in Inter’s project and recently won the Serie A, establishing himself as one of the most important defenders in Italian football.

Chelsea want to move ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona

Bastoni had already been linked in the past with Real Madrid and Barcelona, but now the Premier League is emerging strongly in the race.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Chelsea are preparing an approach to try to sign the Italian during the next winter transfer window.

The offer could reach €80 million, a figure with which the Blues would look to convince Inter to part with one of their main defensive leaders.

Inter do not want to lose their defensive leader

The deal will not be easy.

Bastoni has become one of the pillars of the Nerazzurri, and his performances have put him on the radar of some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

His ability to defend, play out from the back, and contribute to build-up from the defensive line has made him a particularly attractive profile for top teams.

That is why Chelsea will have to push Inter hard if they truly want to complete his signing.

A battle that could grow in January

The Blues’ interest could completely change the situation surrounding the Italian.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, and now Chelsea appear as clubs that have shown interest in a defender whose value continues to rise.

The €80 million that the London club would be willing to put on the table could be just the beginning of a bidding war for Bastoni.

Inter will have the final say, but if Chelsea make their move in January, the Italian center-back could become one of the biggest names in the next European transfer window.
