Manchester United interested in Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni

Manchester United have enquired about Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni.

The Italy international is a target for Tottenham boss Antonio Conte though Inter value the 23-year-old at around £50million.

He appeared 44 times for his club last season and is becoming a regular starter for Italy. 

Conte previously forged a successful relationship with Bastoni as they won the league together at Inter.

Tottenham would seem to be the obvious choice for the defender, given his existing relationship with the manager and the guarantee of Champions League football next season.

Spurs have already signed one Inter player this summer by bringing in Croatian winger Ivan Perisic.

According to 90min, Bastoni has already informed his club he would like to join Tottenham, but Inter are reluctant to let him go. 

United have a limited budget and their priority is to bring in a midfielder and striker.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are hoping Manchester City will make an offer for United target Frenkie de Jong to trigger an auction between the clubs.
