Liverpool must pay a huge fee to sign Inter Milan centre-back Alessandro Bastoni this summer, who has been earmarked as a potential replacement for Virgil van Dijk. Liverpool believe Bastoni will immediately improve their starting XI and he is among their leading targets ahead of the summer transfer window. Reports from Spain claimed Liverpool would be willing to spend over £60m on the talented defender.

Liverpool are reportedly preparing to offer €75 million for Alessandro Bastoni, aiming to bolster their defence with his addition. The Reds consider Bastoni as a crucial component to enhance their backline. According to the report, Bastoni's stability and proficiency in ball play are said to complement Arne Slot’s tactical approach. However, doubts have been raised about the credibility of the source, Fichajes, prompting Liverpool fans to await confirmation from other outlets. This is not the first instance of Liverpool's interest in Bastoni, as they were reportedly monitoring him in August 2024.

Liverpool are willing to spend €300m (£250m) on three top-level summer signings, including Inter's Alessandro Bastoni.

Liverpool has shown interest in signing Alessandro Bastoni, but he has shown loyalty to Inter and rejected their approaches. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, despite being tempted by Premier League clubs, Bastoni has consistently refused to leave Inter.
