Transfer speculation continues to mount as Alessandro Bastoni has been linked in recent days with a move to Liverpool. The defender, currently playing for Inter, could add a new dimension to the squad if the rumoured interest turns into an official approach before the end of the transfer window. Chelsea remain in the background, but for now, Liverpool are leading the way in ongoing talks. Defensively, Liverpool are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.4 goals conceded per game. Someone like Alessandro Bastoni could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Inter have also been linked with Said El Mala, Joel Ordonez and Marc Guehi while Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Kevin Santos Lopes de Macedo, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Ezri Konsa.
