Liverpool Prepare €100m Bid for Inter’s Alessandro Bastoni

Multiple outlets report a formal proposal near €100m, with Inter reluctant to sell a core defender under contract to 2028.

Overview

Football Talk, citing Fichajes, reports Liverpool have opened talks and are ready to meet Inter’s £88m valuation for the 26-year-old centre-back.
Cult of Calcio/Yahoo relays Il Giorno’s line that Liverpool could tender up to €100m, with Inter buoyed by Oaktree’s backing and recent Champions League revenue.
Bastoni’s deal runs to 2028 and his reported €5.5m annual salary underscores his status as a prized Inter asset.
Liverpool’s pursuit follows defensive strain that includes Giovanni Leoni’s season-ending knee injury and a run of 27 goals conceded in 18 matches.
No club has issued confirmation of negotiations or an agreement, and reporting varies on whether any move would be attempted in January or deferred to the summer, with some outlets adding the player could be open to Anfield.
