Chelsea, Tottenham and Man City in Alessandro Bastoni pursuit
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Alessandro Bastoni has become one of the most sought-after defenders in European football, with several Premier League giants including Tottenham Hotspur vying for his signature.
The likes of Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City are all keen on the 23-year-old’s services. Bastoni’s current contract with Inter Milan is entering a critical stage, and the club could be forced to sell him if they cannot agree on an extension.
Tottenham would be an ideal destination for Bastoni. The club can sign him if they manage to qualify for the Champions League next season. While the Italian defender will have offers from top clubs in the competition, if he wants to move to London, the options are limited.
Chelsea are also keeping tabs on Bastoni’s situation and could battle it out with Tottenham for his signature. However, they may not consider the 23-year-old as their primary target, but rather as a backup option.
What should Spurs do?
Manchester City could also be in the race for Bastoni’s signature, and if Pep Guardiola decides that he wants the Italian defender next summer, he could pip both Tottenham and Chelsea to his signature.
For now, the race for Bastoni remains open, including Inter Milan’s chance to extend his contract. Being Italian, there is a chance that he eventually decides to stay in Serie A but the Premier League pull might be too hard to resist. The difference in cultures between the two nations can be overwhelming for some players.
Bastoni’s arrival at Tottenham would be a massive boost to their defensive line, which has been vulnerable in recent years. He could be the perfect partner for Cristian Romero going forward.
In addition, Bastoni’s age and the prospect of playing at Tottenham for many more years would make him an ideal long-term investment for the club. He can be one of our best players going forward.
