Inter Milan are moving to secure Alessandro Bastoni to a new deal amid interest from Manchester City.
Gazzetta dello Sport says City are in contact with Bastoni's camp about bringing him to England in 2021.
Bastoni is tied to Inter until 2023, but they recognise the need to upgrade his contract given City's interest.
Inter have offered to double Bastoni's current €1.5m salary, but his minders are demanding something more.
For their part, City are willing to almost triple Bastoni's terms to bring him to England.
