Alessandro Bastoni, the center back for Inter Milan, is supposedly someone Chelsea is prepared to outbid everyone for this month.
For a number of years, the Serie A powerhouses have relied on the Italian international, who is widely considered as one of the top defenders in the world right now.
Since becoming a regular for Inter, Bastoni—hailed as a “superstar” by agent Roberto De Fanti—has been linked to a Premier League move. Chelsea may now make a strong effort to capture the defender.
According to TV Play, Chelsea is prepared to pay €60 million (£53 million) to acquire Bastoni, and the Blues are prepared to outbid everyone this month in an attempt to sign the 24-year-old.
A new striker and defense are the west London team’s top priorities in January, therefore Bastoni would be a great addition for Mauricio Pochettino’s team this month.
But considering where Chelsea is in the Premier League and how good Inter has been this year, Bastoni might feel more comfortable staying in Milan than moving to London.
Alessandro Bastoni might reject Chelsea in order to remain at Inter Milan.Things have never been better for Inter, who made it to the UEFA Champions League final the previous season and now appear to be favorites to win the Scudetto Bastoni, a defender, may also be strongly inclined to remain with the San Siro giants in January, despite Chelsea’s high bid for the 24-year-old.
Bastoni would undoubtedly start right away at Stamford Bridge, but he may already be aware that staying at Inter is definitely preferable to moving to Chelsea this season.
