Real Madrid Still Waiting: No Contact Made with Inter for Bastoni Deal
👀 Despite Mourinho’s strong interest, Real Madrid haven’t even opened talks with Inter — and the situation could slip out of their control.
Real Madrid’s pursuit of Alessandro Bastoni is far from advanced — in fact, it hasn’t even properly started. According to recent reports, the Spanish giants have yet to establish any direct contact with Inter Milan regarding a potential transfer for the Italian defender.
This comes as a surprise given José Mourinho’s well-known admiration for Bastoni, whom he sees as a key piece to strengthen Madrid’s defensive line. The Inter centre-back has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Bernabéu, but behind the scenes, no concrete steps have been taken so far.
While other reports suggest Bastoni remains a priority target, negotiations between the two clubs have not begun, leaving the situation wide open.
Inter, for their part, are in no rush to sell one of their defensive pillars, and any deal would likely require a significant financial effort from Madrid — potentially around €60–70 million.
For now, everything remains at a standstill. Real Madrid admire Bastoni, Mourinho wants him… but without official contact, the transfer is still just speculation.
The big question: are Los Blancos preparing a late move, or will another opportunity quietly fade away?
