Alessandro Bastoni, currently with Inter Milan, reportedly prefers a transfer to Real Madrid, according to sources. Jose Mourinho wishes to strengthen his defensive line and has spoken to Bastoni about potentially joining. However, Madrid must first address squad space and financial constraints before making an offer, as negotiation talks with Inter remain stalled. Bastoni's contract means Inter is under no obligation to sell, and his interest in Premier League offers could intensify if Madrid delays further. The summer transfer window is drawing closer, adding urgency to the situation.
