As Manchester City continue to get linked with a move for Alessandro Bastoni, what Giorgio Chiellini recently said about him is worth a read.
Regarded as one of the greatest centre-backs of all time, the veteran gave his two cents on the Inter Milan defender, as quoted by FC Inter News.
It’s fair to say that Giorgio Chiellini holds Manchester City-linked stalwart Alessandro Bastoni in high regard.
Giorgio Chiellini says Manchester City target Alessandro Bastoni is one of ‘the best in the world’
It was claimed on Monday that Pep Guardiola’s men were keen on a move for the Italian international in the summer of 2024.
Known to be brilliant on the ball, a smart reader of the game and experienced at the highest level, Bastoni is unsurprisingly rated highly by the masses.
As recently as less than two weeks ago, Giorgio Chiellini gave a glowing verdict on Manchester City target Alessandro Bastoni.
“I know Alessandro well, he is one of the strongest central defenders around and for me, he is among the best in the world. He is a player that Italy will be able to count on for many years, he just needs to continue working and maintaining the desire to improve”, he said.
It seems unlikely that the treble-winners try to sign Alessandro Bastoni
Giorgio Chiellini has a point and, in all fairness, one can even foresee why Alessandro Bastoni would be a hit at Manchester City.
However, the Sky Blues would perhaps only target his signature if they plan to offload one of their centre-backs.
Otherwise, it would be a challenge of the highest order for Pep Guardiola to keep the entire roster happy as minutes will not be easy to come by.
As a result, City would perhaps try to tackle other areas of the pitch where bolstering is perhaps a bigger need than in central defence.
