Overview
- Tullio Tinti, who spoke on Thursday, July 23, told Sky Sport that Alessandro Bastoni loves Inter and is not actively seeking a move but would consider an offer that suits both parties.
- Bastoni is under contract until 2028 and earns about €5.5 million net a year, giving Inter strong leverage in any negotiation.
- Real Madrid are reported to admire Bastoni and have him on a wishlist but have made no formal bid and must sell players before they buy, which limits their ability to act.
- Market values and demands differ: Transfermarkt lists Bastoni near €65 million while Inter are reportedly starting negotiations closer to €70 million, creating a price gap that could stall a deal.
- A separate legal matter tied to events in 2020 remains under follow-up and could influence clubs’ willingness to pursue a transfer, so resolution of that case is likely to shape next steps.
