Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni is one of a number of defenders on Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp’s radar ahead of the Summer transfer window according to a report from Passione Inter.

With veteran defender Dejan Lovren looking destined to leave the club at the end of the season, Klopp is on the look-out for a new defender to bolster the defensive department of the reigning Champions League champions.

Bastoni has broken into the Inter first team this season and has surprised many with the level of his performances and also his consistency and this has led to a number of clubs taking note.

Liverpool aside, it is understood that both Manchester City and Barcelona are also keen on the 20-year-old Italian youth national team player who joined Inter back in the Summer of 2017.

The report goes on to state that as well as Bastoni, RB Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano, Atletico Madrid’s Jose Gimenez and Juventus’ Merih Demiral are also on Klopp’s radar.
