"With the summer transfer window still far away, the speculation is already creating debate, especially in Italy. The 26-year-old defender is currently the highest-paid defender in Serie A and remains under contract with Inter Milan until 2028. His performances over the last few seasons have earned him strong praise from many analysts and coaches, and he is widely considered one of the most complete defenders in the league."
""I don't like Bastoni at all as a defender. He doesn't know how to mark, and he struggles to move. "He can't defend 50 meters from the goal. We saw that against Arsenal when they took him on," he said. Cassano is also unconvinced by Bastoni's ball control. "His build-up play is 'special,' in fact we saw it against Arsenal," he noted."
Alessandro Bastoni is a 26-year-old Inter Milan centre-back under contract until 2028 and the highest-paid defender in Serie A. Strong performances over recent seasons have generated praise for his all-around defending and ball-playing ability, and several European clubs including Barcelona have reportedly monitored him as a left-footed centre-back option. Antonio Cassano publicly criticized Bastoni’s marking, mobility and ball control, citing Arsenal as an example and calling his build-up play “special.” Bastoni remains a key part of Inter’s defensive structure and no concrete transfer move has been made despite ongoing speculation.
