Transfer News: Manchester United are chasing the signature of Alessandro Bastoni
According to transfer news from FcInter1908, new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is a huge admirer of Inter Milan star Alessandro Bastoni and might push for his signature in the coming transfer window.
Alessandro Bastoni has been a standout performer for Inter Milan in this campaign. The 23-year-old has been a regular under Simone Inzaghi and has completed 43 appearances so far in his campaign, which is an emphatic display of his consistency and commitment.
It is believed that Bastoni’s agent had a conversation with Inter’s sporting director Piero Ausilio about his client’s future. In the conclusion, it was determined that the Italian club would be open to ‘sacrifice’ the crucial defender for a lucrative price in the summer transfer window. As the Italian defender is expected to attract a lot of offers, the Milan based team are eying a lucrative business.
Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is expected to take charge of Manchester United from next season. The Dutchman is believed to be a fan of Alessandro Bastoni and would be emphatic to coach him at United.
FcInter1908 suggested that Manchester United have been pushing for the signature of Bastoni after having been closely following the player’s growth for a long time. However, the Italian player’s agent hasn’t received any official approaches so far.
Should Manchester United sign Alessandro Bastoni?
Manchester United being one of the very top brands across Europe has had a very mediocre season compared to their standards. Their defence has been shambolic throughout the season as some crucial defenders like Harry Maguire, Raphaël Varane and Victor Lindelöf have failed to put out the expected outputs. Owing to this problem, the Red Devils have lost several matches and remain one of the most poorly performing defensive sides.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s goals might not be enough for Manchester United to secure a title as long as the defence makes serious blunders and leaks goals in important games. Ten Hag seems to have a serious problem in his hand, whose solution can be Inter’s Bastoni.

Apart from having a quality experience in the Italian top flight, the Italian has played Champions League football. His arrival could push the other defenders to work hard and put out top-notch outputs as their positions wouldn’t be guaranteed anymore.
However, to sign such a player United board first need to register a formal offer to his agent. As we already know that hasn’t happened yet, it remains to be seen when the situation changes.
