Journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Inter Milan will demand big money for Liverpool target Alessandro Bastoni this summer. Bastoni has emerged as one of the leading defenders in Serie A currently, and he is also likely to start for Italy at the 2026 World Cup, should they qualify.

“I think at Tottenham there is a situation to clarify with the centre-backs,” he said. Several clubs are following these situations.” Is Alessandro Bastoni Liverpool’s best centre-back target?

He now has 291 appearances to his name for the Serie A giants, and 41 caps for Italy, while Barcelona’s Pau Cubarsi recently said of him: “He’s a spectacular centre-back. I’ve only seen him play a few times, but we all know the level he’s at.” The fact that Inter are demanding such huge money for Bastoni is a clear issue, though, which is why a different centre-back option may need to be looked at.
