Alessandro Bastoni has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Liverpool, with the Premier League side said to be eyeing a move for the Inter defender. Speculation is gathering pace as the club looks to bolster its squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Tottenham and Chelsea decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. Defensively, Liverpool are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.32 goals conceded per game. Someone like Alessandro Bastoni could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Alongside this, Inter are said to be exploring Harry Maguire, Tarik Muharemovic and Michael Olabode Kayode with Liverpool likewise connected to Sandro Tonali, Ben White and Julian Ryerson.
