Real Madrid is reportedly in a strong position to secure the signing of Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni before the end of the summer transfer window. The Italian defender has emerged as a top priority for Los Blancos.
Bastoni’s name has been a frequent topic in the Spanish media this summer. For a significant period, it seemed as though Barcelona, under Hansi Flick, was close to completing a high-profile transfer for the 27-year-old. However, the two clubs were ultimately unable to reach a definitive agreement.
This breakdown in negotiations has seemingly paved the way for Real Madrid, Barcelona’s fierce rivals, to step in. According to a report from Diario AS, Real Madrid is actively seeking reinforcements in central defense.
The report indicates that Inter Milan is fully prepared to sanction Bastoni’s departure and is aware of Real Madrid’s strong interest in acquiring him. Sources suggest that manager José Mourinho has given his full support to the move for Bastoni. Furthermore, it is understood that the player himself has put other potential moves on hold with the ambition of playing for Real Madrid.
