Alessandro Bastoni has been linked with a move away from Inter Milan, and the development will come as a boost for Premier League clubs.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid have all been linked with Alessandro Bastoni, who will cost around €75 million if he leaves Inter Milan. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, the player could be on his way out of the Italian club soon, as he is mulling over seeking greener pastures in the coming months.
Chelsea need more quality and depth in their defensive unit. The Blues have suffered multiple injury problems at the back this season, and Bastoni would be an excellent addition. He will help them tighten up at the back.
The Italian defender’s ability on the ball would allow Chelsea to build from the back as well. A quality defender like him could have a transformative effect on the team, and it could help the West London outfit challenge for major trophies.
Similarly, Liverpool need to start planning for a future without Virgil van Dijk. The Liverpool skipper is entering the twilight stages of his career, and the Reds will need to find a quality alternative. The Italian international certainly fits the profile, and he could be an excellent addition.
Where will Bastoni end up?
Barcelona and Real Madrid have looked vulnerable at the back as well. It will be interesting to see if the Spanish clubs decide to make a move for Bastoni in the coming months. The 26-year-old has the quality to play for any team in world football.
Bastoni is one of the finest defenders around, and the opportunity to play for elite clubs will be exciting for him as well. It will be interesting to see if any of the aforementioned four clubs come forward with an official proposal to get the deal done.
They have the finances to pay a premium, and Inter Milan could be forced to consider a sale, especially if the player is keen on the move. The 26-year-old will look to join a team where he will be able to win major trophies, and Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid could certainly provide him with that platform.
