Alessandro Bastoni, Italian central defender 27 years old, continues to be one of the main targets of the Real Madrid's transfer market. The Inter Milan defender remains on the white team's agenda despite the expected arrivals of Yan Diomande and Rodri Hernández, while the Italian club maintains an evaluation close to 70 million euros to negotiate his departure.

The white team considers that the squad still needs a reinforcement for the central defense axis. Although this summer Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konaté, and Marc Cucurella have already been incorporated, the sports management continues to work on the possibility of adding a top-level central defender before the market closes.

Alessandro Bastoni remains in Real Madrid's plans

The interest of Real Madrid in Alessandro Bastoni is not new. According to information published in recent weeks, José Mourinho considers the Italian international one of his priorities to complete the defense, and Inter would only be willing to negotiate from an offer close to 70 million euros. Bastoni is under contract until June 2028, a factor that strengthens the negotiating position of the Italian club.

The possible addition of the defender would also have consequences within the Madrid squad. Bastoni's arrival would increase competition in the defense and would leave Raúl Asencio as one of the candidates to leave before the market closes, presumably through a loan if a suitable destination finally appears.

However, the white club remains focused on first closing other operations before presenting a definitive proposal for the Italian international. The intention would be to negotiate an amount lower than Inter's initial valuation.

Barcelona also followed Bastoni, but the operation did not progress

Before the intensified interest of Real Madrid, Alessandro Bastoni also appeared on Barcelona's agenda. However, Inter's high economic demands halted any possibility of an agreement.

Information published during the summer placed the cost of the operation between 70 and 80 million euros, a figure that the Blaugrana club was unwilling to assume. Additionally, Hansi Flick's sports planning has prioritized other needs of the squad, causing the interest to lose strength as the weeks passed.

With that scenario, Real Madrid has emerged as the main contender if Bastoni ultimately leaves the Italian team.

Stones and Cuti Romero mark Inter's next move

While the future of Alessandro Bastoni remains uncertain, Inter has already begun to prepare a possible replacement. The Italian team is very advanced in the incorporation of John Stones, an operation that would reinforce the defense regardless of Bastoni's situation.

At the same time, the Milanese club is in talks to try to incorporate Cristian "Cuti" Romero, although this negotiation is progressing through a different path and remains open.

This context may facilitate a potential departure of Alessandro Bastoni if Real Madrid decides to make a formal offer in the coming weeks. With the market still open and initial contacts already made, the next step will depend on both entities bridging positions on the economic front.
