Real Madrid have joined Liverpool in the race to sign Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni in the summer transfer window, as per Spanish outlet Todo Fichajes. The Italian defender has also been linked with Arne Slot's Liverpool.

The Reds see Alessandro Bastoni as a long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk. However, Los Blancos are keen to sign a new central defender in the January transfer window.

Former Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger will turn 32 before the start of the new season. Meanwhile, David Alaba is currently suffering from a cartilage problem in his knee. Thus, Carlo Ancelotti's side are currently on the hunt for a long-term partner for Eder Militao.

The Italian defender's transfer price is estimated to be around €70 million. The 25-year-old joined Inter Milan from Atalanta in August 2017 and has made 209 appearances for them across all competitions, bagging four goals and 19 assists.

Manchester United join Real Madrid in race to sign 23-year-old Bundesliga star: Reports

Manchester United are interested in signing Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies, who has also been linked with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid, as per Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Alphonso Davies' current contract with the Bundesliga giants expires next summer. Additionally, he's reportedly not interested in signing a new contract with Bayern. As a result, the Red Devils are looking forward to bringing the Canadian star to Old Trafford as Luke Shaw's replacement.

However, the Premier League giants don't consider themselves the frontrunners to sign Davies. Real Madrid are believed to be in the pole position to sign the 23-year-old. Los Blancos have also been heavily linked with Liverpool star Trent Alexander Arnold as Dani Carvajal's successor.
