Alessandro Bastoni

[sakera]

He's young and we won the game.
Conte must rotate, bastoni needs to grow

How much did we pay to sign Bastoni?

 

[thatdude]

Thought he had a strong 2nd half today. Strong aerial presence

 

[varmin]

I think he was the guy who sent that great long ball for Lautaro, immediately after the equalizer.

How much did we pay to sign Bastoni?

In books it was 31m€ if I remember correctly, but it was part of some inflated deals with Atalanta, our kids going their way.

That's what I remember as well. I hope that wouldn't screw us on FFP later. Bastoni is promising. But no way he should be valued at 31M.

I like how the bloke has seamlessly made himself a reliable rotation player, and hopefully a starter in the future.

Fabrizio Romano:

Bastoni: Inter’s leader in defence for the future

Alessandro Bastoni has convinced completely the Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan’s management with another star performance, this time in the game against Parma Calcio 1913.

The 20-year-old was started in the defensive line for the Milan-based club this season and he has surprised everyone with his game awareness and defensive capability.

Yes he is not a finished article by any means, but Bastoni has shown not only defensive qualities but also leadership qualities which can be beneficial for the club in the near future.

It is just normal that manager Antonio Conte is extremely impressed with the performance of Bastoni and is willing to give him space as well as confidence to keep producing the goods.

The former Chelsea manager has already heaped praise on the player and termed him as an asset for the club in the years to come.

There were other clubs who were eager to take the Italy U21 international on loan but it seems highly unlikely that Inter will let that happen.

In fact, the Nerazzurri’s leadership is focused towards extending Bastoni’s current contract which is set to expire in the summer of 2023.

It will be a deserving a new contract for the player but Inter is in no hurry to do that, however, it is something on the club’s agenda of the near future.

Glad to see him getting game-time. At first, I was worried we kept him and he'll hardly play, but he's played in 5 of the last 6 Serie A games.

 

[YoramG]

He's the real deal I think. Hardly ever looks out of place, and has a cultured left foot for a CB. He could be a pillar of the defense for years if he develops as he is.

 

[Batman]

He is in the right path, and Conte so far is doing well managing him. What I like about him more is his composure with the ball, and is actually a good passer. For a defender in such a young age it’s impressive.

This guy needs to play more matches over Godin!

 

[GenDire]

Kid seems like a phenom in the making, nearly the complete package of a defender: Composure, technique, almost too tall

 

[Choppin Onions]

This guy needs to play more matches over Godin!

Conte is starting to realize it as Bastoni is playing more and more. It also allows Skriniar to play on his natural side.

He was the best "midfielder" in the second half against Verona

 

[ADRossi]

We look better with him on the left and Skriniar on the right then we do with the Godin-de Vrij-Skriniar defensive line.

 

[Pajo]

Another boss game. Has 3x better season than Godin and 2x that Skriniar. If i was Conte, id play him every game from now on.

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

that pass out to Lazaro that lead to our opener was sexy

 

[Batman]

He almost scored AND assisted too. Hope he continues like this.
