Manchester United were ripped apart at Anfield, they need to improve their backline, and Alessandro Bastoni’s name has recently resurfaced.
According to reports, the Red Devils were interested in signing the Italian international last summer, and Inter demanded a fee of 60 million euros for their asset.
Finally, Erik ten Hag moved to entice Lisandro Martinez away from Ajax. According to recent media reports, Manchester United may be willing to meet Bastoni’s wage demands in order to retain his services.
The current contract of the Azzurri star will expire next year, and the Nerazzurri want to extend his stay at the San Siro.
According to Inter Live, the 23-year-old center back currently earns 4 million euros per season, and the Italian giants are willing to offer him 4.5 million euros per season.
However, according to the news source, the youngster would like a new contract that would pay him around 6 million euros per season.
According to reports, Premier League clubs pose the greatest threat to Inter Milan. Tottenham could pay the player 7 million euros per year, while Manchester United could agree to a deal worth 8 million euros per year, or £136,000 per week, to sign Bastoni.
The 17-cap international was a member of Italy’s 2021 European Championship-winning squad, and he has won every major domestic prize in the country for Inter Milan.
At Old Trafford, skipper Harry Maguire’s future has been uncertain because Ten Hag has largely kept him out of the starting XI.
Should Manchester United sign Alessandro Bastoni to replace the England international, in your opinion?
