Real Madrid has reportedly intensified its pursuit of central defender Alessandro Bastoni, following indications that FC Barcelona has withdrawn its previous interest in the Italian international. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter Milan is reportedly unwilling to allow the departure of one of their key players without receiving a substantial transfer fee, setting the club’s valuation for Bastoni at approximately €70 million. However, any potential transfer involving Real Madrid is understood to be subject to the final approval of Inter Milan’s new coach, Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho is currently evaluating potential options to strengthen the defensive department ahead of the upcoming season. The recent interactions between the two clubs have seen a notable positive development. The relationship between Inter Milan and Real Madrid has reportedly strengthened following the successful transfer of Denzel Dumfries to the Santiago Bernabéu for €20 million.
This move suggests a growing commercial and sporting connection between the two giants of Italian and Spanish football. The continued interest from Real Madrid highlights Bastoni’s status as a highly sought-after defender. While the financial hurdle remains significant for any move, the confluence of Mourinho’s defensive assessment and the established recent dealings between Inter and Real Madrid suggests that a transfer remains a viable, albeit costly, prospect for the Spanish side.
