Liverpool plot Alessandro Bastoni move
Liverpool have reportedly outlined their intentions to move for Inter Milan centre-back Alessandro Bastoni ahead of next season, as per Fichajes.
Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp is expected to implement significant changes in his team ahead of the next season due to their current struggles.
The Reds are facing challenges in all areas and they are currently positioned eighth in the Premier League with 35 points after 22 matches.
The possibility of Liverpool missing out on UEFA Champions League football next season may exacerbate their situation. The absence of the Merseyside club from Europe’s top-tier competition could hinder their efforts to attract high-profile players.
Liverpool are expected to pursue Bastoni’s signature in the upcoming summer transfer window. The 23-year-old’s contract with Inter Milan is set to expire in June 2024, and he has not yet agreed to an extension, prompting interest from several European clubs.
The Italian centre-back has made 144 appearances for the Nerazzurri, with five assists in 26 appearances this season.
Liverpool will be on the lookout for multiple players, but Klopp’s top priority will be to find a new defensive partner for Virgil van Dijk.
Joe Gomez’s recent struggles have forced Klopp to search for a new defender. In order to revive the Merseyside club, Klopp will need to overhaul his team by purchasing several players. Signing a centre-back and midfielders will be at the top of his agenda. Liverpool have expressed interest in several defenders, including Josko Gvardiol.
