Even though it’s Tottenham Hotspur who’ve recently been heavily linked to Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni, we now see Manchester United’s interest getting serious as well.
According to an update brought by Gianluca Di Marzio, the Red Devils have moved for the signing ‘in recent hours’.
With the Old Trafford side joining the race, the journalist points out that Manchester United and Tottenham now battle for the 23-year-old.
It’s recalled that Spurs had already started contact ‘both with Inter and the player’. Antonio Conte knows him well from his time at the Nerazzurri, and has been following his success both at both at domestic and international level.
It turns out that with Manchester United and Tottenham both looking for a defender, Gianluca Di Marzio uses the same story to point out there’s another centre-back the Red Devils and Spurs could battle for. That’s Sven Botman from Lille.
Claiming that Milan are also in negotiations for the Dutchman, it’s said that the English clubs have a ‘sizeable budget’ to land him, therefore the Rossoneri must be aware of their competition.
