Manchester City are ready to battle with Manchester United for the transfer of Inter Milan centre-back Alessandro Bastoni, according to a report on GOAL.

The report adds: “Manchester City are interested in securing the services of Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni, according to reports in Fichajes.

“Bastoni is set to enter into the final year of his contract and Inter could be looking to make bank on the defender rather than losing him for free in 12 months. City are set to face competition from cross-city rivals, Manchester United.”
