"He has established himself as one of the finest defenders in European football, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to play for clubs like Arsenal and Barcelona. However, Arsenal already have a strong defensive unit. They might not be able to offer him a regular starting spot. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Arsenal need to improve other areas of the squad,"
"and investing in another central defender would be surprising. Meanwhile, Barcelona need to tighten up defensively. They need a quality central defender, and the Italian would be ideal. Apart from his defensive qualities, he is excellent with the ball at his feet, and he would be the ideal fit for Barcelona's style of football. The opportunity to join the Spanish champions will be exciting for the player as well."
Alessandro Bastoni, a 26-year-old Inter Milan centre-back, is attracting interest from Arsenal and Barcelona ahead of the summer window. Inter considers him a priceless asset and would require a substantial fee to sell. Bastoni has established himself among Europe's top defenders and combines strong defensive ability with excellent ball skills suited to possession-based football. Arsenal possess an already-strong defensive unit, which could limit immediate starting opportunities. Barcelona have a clear need to tighten defensively and would benefit from a ball-playing central defender. Bastoni may seek a new challenge if a concrete proposal materialises, and his arrival would strengthen either club.
