Chelsea and Man City ‘consider £60m transfer bid for in-demand Italy star to bolster defensive ranks’
CHELSEA and Manchester City are considering a move for Inter Milan star Alessandro Bastoni, according to reports.

The centre-back is one of the most in demand players in the world having previously turned down opportunities to move.
Chelsea and Manchester City are interested in signing Alessandro Bastoni
He rejected Tottenham when former manager Antonio Conte made an approach over a year ago.
Now Chelsea and City have turned their eye to Bastoni too, report Calciomercato.
But Inter will hold out for a hefty transfer fee with the Italy defender priced at £60million.
The Serie A giants are not under pressure to sell as Bastoni penned a five-year deal in the summer.
Manchester United have been linked to Bastoni in the past.
While Pep Guardiola could decide to focus transfer funds elsewhere after signing Josko Gvardiol in the summer.
Chelse have spent over £1billion since Todd Boehly took over.
But the Blues are still exploring ways to improve their squad after a shaky start to the season.
Brentford star Ivan Toney is believed to be of interest, with Arsenal also keeping tabs on the striker.
Toney could be available for as little as £65m too as he has not played for several months due to his ban for betting breaches.
