Alessandro Bastoni, a 27-year-old center-back from Inter Milan, does not plan to leave the Italian club during this transfer window, despite being on the transfer list of Real Madrid. His agent, Tullio Tinti, states that there is no serious negotiation and points out that the defender has a contract until June 30, 2028.

The message alters an operation that had gained momentum in June. The Madrid club was looking for a left-footed center-back to complete José Mourinho's squad, but will have to explore other options if the player remains firm on staying in Milan.

Alessandro Bastoni Prioritizes His Continuity at Inter Milan

Tinti has explained that Alessandro Bastoni intends to honor the remaining two years of his contract. The agent only leaves open the possibility of negotiation if a proposal satisfying both the player and Inter arises, a circumstance that has not happened yet.

His stance contrasts with reports from late June. Those reports mentioned contacts between the clubs and suggested a possible deal around 60 million euros, although there is no record of the white club making a formal offer for the Italian international.

The contract until 2028 allows Inter to control the situation. The club officially announced Bastoni's last renewal in July 2023, extending his contract with the club for another five seasons.

His performance also strengthens his position in Italy. The center-back played 44 matches last season, scoring three goals, providing six assists, and being part of 12 clean sheets. Additionally, he made 50 tackles and won 193 duels across all competitions.

Real Madrid Must Pursue Another Alternative for LaLiga

Real Madrid had considered Alessandro Bastoni as an option to reinforce the central defense. Mourinho values the addition of a left-footed center-back, a quality that would help balance ball distribution from the left side.

The sports management had also evaluated other names during the summer, but several deals have been complicated by the financial demands of the selling clubs. Bastoni's decision further limits the available options before the start of LaLiga.

FC Barcelona had also looked into the situation with the Italian previously. The asking price set by Inter prevented progress, leading Barcelona to redirect their focus towards other defenders with lower costs.

Bastoni Does Not Want to Leave Italy

The player's willingness is now the factor hindering any move. Tinti asserts that Bastoni has not shown interest in leaving Italy, and the rumors circulating in recent weeks are not sufficient to initiate negotiations.

The Madrid club must decide whether to wait for a change in position or focus their resources on another center-back. The former seems less likely as the player has already communicated his intention to stay at Inter and begin the next season there.

The next step will be to see if a proposal emerges that alters the scenario before the transfer window closes. Until an offer accepted by both parties exists, Alessandro Bastoni will remain in Milan, and Real Madrid will have to prepare an alternative to strengthen their defense in LaLiga.
