Stats Show Inter Milan Star Outperforms Other Elite Left-Footed Defenders Linked With Barcelona Transfer Inter Milan center-back Alessandro Bastoni has been heavily linked with a big-money transfer to Barcelona these past few weeks. According to Mundo Deportivo via FCInter1908 , the Italian ace boasts much better numbers than all other defenders on Barca’s shortlist. It’s unsurprising that Alessandro Bastoni has emerged as Los Blaugranas’ top target.

Indeed, he has been one of the most consistent center-backs in Europe’s top-five leagues across the last few years. Furthermore, the 26-year-old has been the cornerstone of Inter’s defense for almost a decade now. Widely considered as one of the most reliable defenders of his generation, Bastoni remains a vital part of the Nerazzurri’s long-term plans.

However, the Spanish heavyweights are likely to test Inter’s resolve in the summer. Inter Milan Star Alessandro Bastoni Outperforms All Other Barcelona Targets Keen to fend off Barca’s interest, Inter have slapped a prohibitive €80 million price tag on the former Atalanta man. Still, Inter’s stratospheric demands are unlikely to deter the Camp Nou outfit from approaching Bastoni in the summer.

Indeed, the Nerazzuri star more duels won (157), aerial duels won (62), and successful tackles (60) than any other Barcelona target. Moreover, Bastoni has created more chances (38) and provided more assists (5) than any other center-back in Europe’s elite divisions.
