What happened. Real Madrid, under José Mourinho, have renewed interest in Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni after their move for Nico Schlotterbeck stalled. Inter will only sell for €70m.

• Mourinho wants Bastoni despite already signing Konaté, Cucurella and Dumfries.
• Inter previously rejected Barcelona's approach for Bastoni.
• Madrid have spent heavily this summer, raising doubts over meeting the €70m price.

Whether Madrid meet Inter's valuation will decide the transfer.
