Mourinho pushes for Bastoni at Real Madrid as Inter set €70m price tag
José Mourinho, currently managing Fenerbahçe, is reportedly lobbying for Inter Milan center-back Alessandro Bastoni to make a move to Real Madrid. Inter have set a €70 million asking price for the 25-year-old Italian international, who remains a key part of their squad. Bastoni has been a long-term target for several top European clubs, and Mourinho's reported involvement adds a notable dimension to the transfer saga. The potential deal would represent a significant defensive reinforcement for Real Madrid, while Inter would be reluctant to lose one of their most important players.

A €70m valuation reflects current market rates for elite defenders. Mourinho's reported advocacy is intriguing given his history of working with top Italian talent and his current role outside the Real Madrid decision-making structure, suggesting informal influence. For Inter, losing Bastoni would be a major defensive blow unless replaced adequately. For Real Madrid, signing him would strengthen their backline options but the fee is substantial.
