What if the transaction ultimately does not see the light of day? For the moment, discussions between FC Barcelona and Inter Milan around a possible transfer of Alessandro Bastoni (27 years old) continue to make a lot of noise in Italy. This file promises to be long and it is also fueled by the positions taken by some football figures. The last is that of Marcel Desailly, who spoke in the podcast The Italian Football to analyze the profile of the Italian defender and imagine his role in Hansi Flick’s squad in La Liga. The former French international points out certain limits.
According to him, Bastoni still lacks the stature to be considered a boss. “I don’t see him as a top international leader, but it’s clear that he is a player who knows how to adapt to the systems of the moment in his team. This is where its limit lies. He most likely helped Inter win the Scudetto this season, but that’s also where I see his limit at international level.” he said during the exchange. Then, Desailly continued his speech, without detour. “He’s left-handed so you can compare him to Maldini, but he’s not even half Maldini’s level”. This could quickly displease Cristian Chivu’s player.
