Manchester United have been linked with a move for Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni.
The 23-year-old Italian defender’s contract at the San Siro ends in the summer of 2024 and Inter Milan hope to bind him to a new contract.
Apparently, the player earns around 4 million euros at the Italian club and Inter Milan is willing to offer him a salary of around 4.5 million euros plus bonuses. It seems that the player’s agent is demanding a salary of around 6 million euros to sign an extension with the club.
Inter Live adds that Manchester United are looking to sign the player at the end of the season and could double his current salary and offer him close to 8 million euros per season.
Bastoni is undoubtedly one of the most talented young defenders in Europe right now and could be a quality acquisition.
Manchester United have already signed two quality defenders in Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martínez. Bastoni’s arrival will complete Erik ten Hag’s defense and help Manchester United improve enormously.
The 23-year-old has the potential to become a top-class player and working with a coach like Ten Hag will only accelerate his development.

The former Ajax manager has done well to nurture talented young players throughout his career and is likely to play a positive role in Bastoni’s development as well.
It remains to be seen if the player is tempted to move to Old Trafford in the coming months.
He will only have 12 months left on his contract at the end of the season and Inter Milan could be under pressure to cash in on him if he refuses to sign an extension.
