Inter Milan are desperate to tie star defender Alessandro Bastoni down to a new contract amid interest from Barcelona and Liverpool.
According to FCInterNews, the San Siro giants have made Bastoni’s renewal the club’s number one priority for the summer.
Bastoni’s future has recently become one of the major talking points in Serie A.
Indeed, after his Derby d’Italia antics made him one of the most unpopular figures in the country, Barcelona have named him their top target.
Los Blaugranas are keen to bolster Hansi Flick’s defensive options, with Alessandro Bastoni emerging as an ideal candidate.
Meanwhile, Inter remain hopeful of fending off the Catalan giants’ interest.
Inter Milan Eager to Extend Alessandro Bastoni Contract Amid Barcelona & Liverpool Interest
In addition to slapping a substantial €70 million price tag on Bastoni, Inter are also looking to renew his contract.
Though his current deal expires in 2028, the 20-time Italian champions are already thinking about an extension.
Furthermore, the player is willing to pledge his long-term future to the club.
However, the 26-year-old could change his mind if the boos continue.
On the other hand, Barcelona now face stiff competition from Liverpool, who could use Giovanni Leoni as a makeweight in the deal.
Formerly linked with a move to Inter, Leoni has struggled at Anfield and could favor a quick return to Serie A.
