Alessandro Bastoni will be available from Inter Milan in 2024, and Chelsea and Manchester City are apparently both interested in signing him.
Bastoni will be sold by Inter.
Chelsea will take on City, with Bastoni as a potential Thiago Silva replacement
According to Calciomercato, both Premier League clubs are considering making a move for Italian international Bastoni in the upcoming season. In light of the possibility that seasoned center-back Thiago Silva could leave Stamford Bridge when his contract ends in the summer, the source claims that the Blues want to reinforce their defense. On the other hand, City, who are constantly trying to get better as a team under Pep Guardiola, appear to be seeking for new faces at center-back.
Inter is reportedly willing to let Bastoni depart at the conclusion of the current campaign. According to reports, the 24-year-old must be sold in order for the Nerazzurri, an Italian club with financial limits, to strengthen their squad. This is because the Nerazzurri have a strict transfer policy they must follow. If Inter’s valuation of Bastoni is met—£60 million ($73 million)—the club would be willing to begin negotiations with potential purchasers.
Although Inter are willing to sell, it might be challenging to come to a deal in January. Before deciding on his next move, Bastoni will probably finish the 2023–24 season in San Siro.
