The website 'Fichajes' reported that Liverpool has placed young Italian defender Alessandro Bastoni, a player from Inter Milan, at the top of its priority list to strengthen the defense, and the English club may be willing to pay over 100 million euros to sign him.

Bastoni, who is 26 years old, has been a key pillar in Inter Milan's defense for several seasons, combining stability, decisiveness, and elegance in performance, along with continental experience, making him an ideal target to bolster Liverpool's defenses in a new phase for the team.

Liverpool needs to strengthen the defense position after an unstable start to the season, and Bastoni is considered a long-term solution according to Italian and English reports, with expectations that the potential offer could reach between 100 and 115 million euros to convince Inter Milan to part with their player.

As for Inter, Bastoni has been a key player since 2018, and his contract runs until June 2028, giving the Italian club significant bargaining power. The team faces an important decision between retaining one of their best defenders or accepting a record offer that could reshape their economic strategy, especially with other major clubs monitoring him.

Bastoni features a unique style that combines good positioning, the ability to read the game, and efficiency in ball progression from defense, and he is at an ideal age to move to a higher level, which increases his market value and enhances Liverpool's interest.

If Liverpool succeeds in signing him, it will send a clear message about the English club's ambitions in defense and the continuity of its project, while Inter Milan seeks to minimize sporting losses and maximize financial returns.
