Manchester United is expected to be active in the transfer market for a defender and midfielder this summer. With Harry Maguire approaching his 30s, a centre-back is likely to be one of their top priorities during the transfer window.
Inter Milan star Alessandro Bastoni has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent months Goal (via Fichajes) has reported that the Red Devils have now risen in ‘pole position’ to secure a move for the Italy international.
Alongside Man United, Barcelona have also shown interest in signing Bastoni as they look to replace the underperforming Ronald Araujo, but it remains to be seen whether their finances are strong enough to match his high price tag.
On Transfermarkt, Bastoni is valued at £70 million But considering he is still only 26, has a contract until June 2028 and remains a fixture in Internazionale’s plans, the Nerazzurri could ask for a significantly higher fee.
Bastoni is a top signing for United
Alessandro Bastoni is one of the best centre-backs in the world and while he may come at a high price, the Inter Milan defender promises to be a fantastic signing for Manchester United.
He is excellent at keeping the backline organized and in shape, while from an individual point of view the 26-year-old is an intelligent reader of the game, a good man marker, passer of the ball and also has strong aerial skills.
After a few successful years at Inter, he may be open to the idea of moving to a Premier League side and if United’s form under Michael Carrick is anything to go by, they could soon be champions and thus a very attractive destination for Bastoni.
