One of the best Italian prospects is certainly Alessandro Bastoni, a defender born in 1999. The italian talent has become a reliable player for Inter's coach Antonio Conte. Since then, the player has been receiving praise from many pundits and managers.
The player's agent is very proud of his client, and did comment on his abilities and skills quite highly to Radio Uno and this is what he had to say:
"Alessandro is predestined. I have never seen anyone at his age play with this naturalness, perhaps only Maldini. He has a bright future ahead of him."
The agent, Tullio Tinti, has therefore compared Bastoni to Milan's legendary icon Paolo Maldini which started a controversy among the calcio and Milan fans.
