Overview
- Multiple outlets say Liverpool are preparing or willing to bid in the region of €100m/£88m for the 26-year-old Italy international.
- No formal offer or agreement has been confirmed, with coverage describing opened talks or a planned proposal rather than a completed step.
- Sources report Inter are unlikely to sell mid-season, noting Bastoni’s contract through 2028 and his settled status under Simone Inzaghi.
- Liverpool’s pursuit is linked in reports to defensive shortages and form, plus uncertainty over Ibrahima Konaté’s future after a rejected extension.
- Most accounts suggest a transfer would be more feasible next summer at a fee that could challenge the all-time record paid for a defender.
