Alessandro Bastoni has become one of the most sought-after names in the upcoming summer market. The Inter Milan center-back, at the peak of his career at 26, is attracting interest from across Europe.

FC Barcelona considers him their top defensive priority to strengthen the backline. However, they are not the only big club closely monitoring his contract situation. 'CaughtOffside' reports that Liverpool has intensified informal contacts to gauge the player's stance. The competition is real.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan has no intention of facilitating his departure. His contract runs until 2028, and negotiations are ongoing to extend it to 2030 with an improved salary.

Alessandro Bastoni, target of FC Barcelona and Liverpool

FC Barcelona sees Alessandro Bastoni as an ideal fit for their system. A left-footed player with good ball distribution and leadership qualities, he fits the build-up play philosophy. Nevertheless, Liverpool also values his profile, as they seek to rejuvenate their defense, considering the Italian a strategic piece.

The player's entourage admits that he may consider an experience outside Italy. At the peak of his career, a move abroad is not ruled out. However, Bastoni is content at Inter Milan. His consistent performance and influence in the dressing room are evident.

He has amassed 291 official matches at San Siro, scoring eight goals and providing 30 assists. A track record that supports his international status.

Inter Milan and the 100 million barrier

Inter Milan has set a clear price: any offer must fall between 90 and 100 million euros. The nerazzurri board considers Alessandro Bastoni a cornerstone of their sporting project. His departure would only be considered for an exceptional proposal.

Under the ownership of Oaktree, the club is working on an extension until 2030. A salary improvement would be a gesture to secure the defender. However, Liverpool's and FC Barcelona's interest could disrupt the balance. Both clubs are exploring financial scenarios to handle the operation.

In the Premier League, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are also keeping tabs on the situation, albeit with less intensity at the moment.

Liverpool and FC Barcelona, different profiles for Bastoni

Liverpool offers the Premier League stage and a competitive project in England. The opportunity to lead a new defense is appealing. On the other hand, FC Barcelona represents LaLiga and a playing style that enhances technical center-backs like Alessandro Bastoni.

Inter Milan trusts in the player's emotional connection to the club. He has won two Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia titles, and three Supercoppa Italiana titles. His career reflects commitment. Yet, the market is unpredictable, and summer tends to open unexpected doors.

Inter Milan aims to maintain stability in their defensive core. Losing Bastoni would be a sporting and symbolic blow. Hence, the strategy is clear: negotiate from a position of strength and only entertain figures that reflect his true value.

Other options for Liverpool's defense

Liverpool is exploring alternatives but keeping an eye on the Italian player. FC Barcelona keeps him as a top priority. The outcome will depend on the player's willingness and the financial capacity of the suitors.

One thing is certain, Alessandro Bastoni will be one of the main protagonists of the summer, with Liverpool, FC Barcelona, and Inter Milan as key players in his final decision.
