After weeks of intense speculation, multiple reliable sources have confirmed that Liverpool have tabled a concrete offer for Alessandro Bastoni, the Inter defender who has been catching the eye this year. The bid signals the first move in what could be intense negotiations - with the team said to be reluctant to let an important player go unless his valuation is met. While Liverpool and Inter continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Tottenham and Chelsea reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Across the season 25/26, Liverpool have let in 26 goals in 18 (1.44 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Alessandro Bastoni would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Alongside this, Inter are said to be exploring Moris Valincic, Guglielmo Vicario and Karim Adeyemi with Liverpool likewise connected to Ayase Ueda, Goncalo Ramos and Alexander Sorloth.
