England's Liverpool club is working on new candidates to strengthen their defense.
Idman.Biz reports that Liverpool has changed its plans after Mark Guehi, who was previously considered the main target, was transferred to Manchester City.
The Merseyside representative is currently focusing on Alessandro Bastoni, who plays for Italy's Inter Milan.
The 26-year-old Italian defender has two and a half years left on his contract with the club. According to reports, Bastoni is positive about continuing his career abroad, and this factor further increases Liverpool's interest. The player's transfer value is shown as 80 million euros (160 million AZN) on the Transfermarkt portal.
It is noted that another main candidate on the English club's list for central defender is Niko Schlotterbeck, a member of Germany's Borussia Dortmund club. It is expected that the German footballer will change his club after the summer. The player's transfer value is shown as 55 million euros (110 million AZN) on the Transfermarkt portal.
