As Liverpool’s impressive Premier League campaign continues under Arne Slot, the club is setting its sights on defensive reinforcements. According to Fichajes, the Reds are preparing a bold €75 million (£63m, $82m) bid for Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni. The 25-year-old centre-back has established himself as one of Italy’s finest defenders, excelling in Serie A and the Champions League with his physicality, technique, and ball-playing ability—traits that align perfectly with Slot’s tactical vision.
Former Inter star Andrea Ranocchia has hailed Bastoni as “the best defender in Italy and among the best in Europe for his age.” With two Serie A titles and a Champions League final appearance under his belt, as well as a role in Italy’s Euro 2020-winning squad, Bastoni boasts top-level experience. Liverpool reportedly sees him as a key defensive addition for both the present and the future.
