Incubo Real Madrid! The Athletic: “Bastoni also on Mourinho's list”

Real Madrid is on fire after Florentino Perez was confirmed as club president. After the return of José Mourinho to the bench, Real has already completed the signings of Denzel Dumfries from Inter, the high-profile free agent Konaté, and the left winger Cucurella, as well as reaching an agreement for the renewal of the experienced Rüdiger. But that’s not all.

According to the authoritative The Athletic, the club is planning to add another top-level defender: after failed attempts for Gvardiol (who will renew with Manchester City) and Calafiori, the names now on the list are Ruben Dias from Manchester City, Nico Schlotterbeck from Borussia Dortmund, and Alessandro Bastoni from Inter, who has long been at the center of speculation regarding Barcelona. Mourinho wants another great defender and will try to go after one of these three. Then, he will proceed with the sale of other players from a squad that is becoming oversized.

A few days ago, however, let us recall, Bastoni’s agent had already announced his stay at Inter: “He will definitely stay at Inter, but in football anything can happen. A player like Bastoni attracts the interest of all the big clubs, you never know in life, but he is happy where he is. It is definitely a moment in which Bastoni is super happy to stay where he is, in his home” said Tullio Tinti as reported by SportMediaset.
