Bastoni transfer saga, legal probe, Saudi interest

Entities: Alessandro Bastoni · Inter Milan · Nicolò Barella · Real Madrid · Ma. De Milano

Overview

Inter Milan reaffirmed a €70 million valuation for centre‑back Alessandro Bastoni on 25 July, stating the price will not be reduced, mirroring the figure set when Barcelona showed interest. Real Madrid remain the only reported suitor willing to meet the demand. Simultaneously, the club outlined a broader transfer agenda: targeting Brazilian right‑back Wesley, pursuing Argentine defender Cristian Romero on a possible loan‑with‑option, and considering internal options such as Andy Diouf for the right flank, while recent defensive signings include Ibrahima Konaté, Marc Cucurella and Denzel Dumfries.

The criminal investigation into an alleged Milan escort network continued to involve Inter. On 31 July prosecutors heard midfielders Nicolò Barella and Federico Dimarco as witnesses; they are not under investigation, while the probe still focuses on Bastoni for alleged minor‑prostitution offences linked to the same case. Earlier interrogations also involved other squad members in an informative capacity. The investigation remains in its preliminary phase, with further steps expected after the summer break.
