Liverpool FC has initiated plans to bolster its squad during the upcoming summer transfer window, with a primary focus on reinforcing its defensive line. The Merseyside club is actively scouting top-tier talent to ensure depth and stability in their backfield for the new season.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, citing the publication "Fichajes," the English club has expressed significant interest in acquiring Alessandro Bastoni, a key defender for both the Italian national team and Inter Milan. Reports suggest that a potential transfer could cost Liverpool approximately 70 million euros.
Alessandro Bastoni has been a cornerstone of Inter Milan's defense since joining the club in 2017, and his current contract runs until June 2028. During the previous Serie A season, the Italian defender made 28 appearances, contributing one goal and four assists, while receiving six yellow cards. Such transfers are common in the Premier League, where top clubs frequently invest heavily in established European defensive talent to maintain competitiveness in both domestic and continental tournaments.
