Alessandro Bastoni is back in the spotlight of the European transfer market. The Inter defender has attracted interest from some of the continent's biggest clubs, but now Chelsea seem ready to make a concrete move.

Despite the transfers made in the last transfer window, Chelsea's defense has been their weakest point this season. In the first 6 games in all competitions, the "Blues" have conceded 12 goals, which is a lot. TeamTalk reveals that Chelsea's leaders will intervene in the January transfer window to strengthen the center of defense and Xabi Alonso's big desire is Alessandro Bastoni.

According to Italian media reports, the Londoners are preparing an offer that could reach up to 80 million euros, with the aim of transferring the 27-year-old in the January transfer window.

Bastoni is one of Inter's main starters and one of the leaders of the defensive department. His ability to defend, but also to initiate actions from the back, has made the Italian an important target for elite clubs.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have also been mentioned in the race for his services, while Chelsea's interest could further fuel the competition.

Inter does not want to lose one of the pillars of the team, so an offer of 80 million euros could only be the starting point of a big battle in the winter transfer market.

Bastoni remains in the spotlight and January is expected to bring new developments for the Italian defender's future.
