February 15th, 2026, 10:00
Arsenal is reportedly interested in acquiring Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan as the summer transfer window approaches.
According to a report by Calciomercato, the 26-year-old defender is seen as a “priceless” player by the Italian side, but Arsenal is eager to pursue him. They will have to contend with rival interest from Barcelona.
Additionally, Liverpool has emerged as another contender for Bastoni’s signature.
Will Arsenal Secure a Deal for Bastoni?
The possibility of Bastoni departing Inter Milan at the season’s end is a topic of intrigue. He has made a name for himself as one of the top defenders in European football and certainly has the caliber to join clubs like Arsenal and Barcelona.
Nevertheless, Arsenal boasts a robust defensive lineup, which may hinder his chances of becoming a regular starter. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, as Arsenal might prioritize strengthening other areas of their squad over adding another central defender.
Barcelona’s Interest in Bastoni
There’s also speculation linking Bastoni to Chelsea and Tottenham.
On the other hand, Inter Milan has no immediate plans to part ways with the defender, and it would require a substantial financial offer to sway them. It is clear that Bastoni is a world-class talent who could enhance either team’s defense.
