Real Madrid continue to pursue a stronger central defense and are again eyeing Inter's Alessandro Bastoni as one of the key transfer candidates.

As AS reports, Madrid have already secured the signing of Ibrahimi Konate as a free agent, and also previously formalized the transfers of Marc Cucurella and Denzel Dumfries. In support of the club, we intend to request another central defencist.

At first, the main alternative was Niko Schlotterbeck, but after not being able to get along with the German, Real turned to the option of Bastogne.

There was interest in the Italian footballer at the start of the summer transfer window, but later the negotiations took a different turn.

Now, following the data of Dzherel, the 27-Richny Zhisnik will again enter the number of the main goals of the Madrid club. Real Madrid trust that Bastogne's intelligence and versatility will help strengthen the team's defensive line.

The Italian's contract with Inter lasts until summer 2028. Last season he played 40 matches in all tournaments, scoring two goals and providing six assists.
