Reportedly, Chelsea has set their sights on Alessandro Bastoni, as disclosed by Italian outlet TV Play. With the approaching 2024 summer transfer window, the Blues are actively seeking a new center-back and appear poised to invest a hefty €60 million to acquire the 24-year-old from Inter Milan.
This interest in Bastoni by Chelsea arises due to uncertainties surrounding the future of Thiago Silva, the veteran Brazilian defender. With Silva nearing the end of his contract and the last six months ahead, Chelsea seems prepared to part ways with him in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Although Bastoni wouldn’t be a direct replacement for Silva, Chelsea requires a right-footed center-back, especially with Levi Colwill in their squad. Therefore, the Italian international emerges as a viable option for the club, prompting the Premier League giants to consider a €60 million expenditure to secure his talents.
Despite Bastoni’s significance to Inter Milan, the club faces financial challenges. Consequently, they appear willing to authorize his departure, particularly given Chelsea’s potential €60 million offer, which could entice their decision-makers. The impending summer transfer window holds the possibility of this move materializing, albeit it remains to be seen.
