Alessandro Bastoni has never lacked suitors, but the threat to Inter could be more tangible than in the past, as Liverpool are reportedly ready to table a massive offer to lure him to the Premier League, Il Giorno<\/em> informs (via Tuttomercatoweb<\/em>).<\/p>\n The Reds have been trying to land a top-notch defender in recent windows and are eyeing the 26-year-old, who\u2019s been elite since his second season at San Siro back in 2020\/2021. He has racked up 271 appearances with the Nerazzurri<\/em>, scoring 7 times and providing 28 assists, in addition to being rock-solid in the back.<\/p>\n Liverpool could tender up to \u20ac100M to tempt Bastoni and Inter. It\u2019s been a while since the Italian runner-ups had to cash in on one of their linchpins. Their financial situation has drastically improved since the Oaktree fund takeover. Their deep Champions League runs under the new format have been highly beneficial too.<\/p>\n The center-back is under contract until 2028 and pockets \u20ac5.5M annually. While he\u2019s in the upper echelon of salaries within the team, he\u2019s far behind Lautaro Martinez (\u20ac9M), and also trails Nicol\u00f2 Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Marcus Thuram, who clear the \u20ac6M threshold.<\/p>\n While he\u2019d earn a lot more if he transferred, it\u2019s basically an impossible deal. He\u2019s highly committed to his current team and is still young-ish for a defender. The opportunity to move to England will be there if he ever wants to do it. It wouldn\u2019t be surprising if the rumours were instrumental in initiating the talks for a new deal. He\u2019s due for a raise, given the level of his performance and the monetary level reached by some of his teammates since his last renewal.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Bastoni, Liverpool, and Inter<\/h3>\n
