Alessandro Bastoni (born 13 April 1999) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Serie A club Parma, on loan from Internazionale.
Early career
Bastoni was born in Casalmaggiore, Lombardy, and began his career in the local Cannatese youth side, where his father was coach.[1] At the age of 7, he joined the youth sides of Serie A side Atalanta.
Club career
Atalanta
Bastoni progressed through various age groups at Bergamo, including making nearly 30 appearances for the under-17 side, before eventually progressing to the Primavera side, where he established himself as a regular starter at the centre of defence. He was named on the first-team bench for the first time on 30 October 2016, for the game against Genoa, and made his full debut a month later in the Coppa Italia game against Pescara, playing the full game in a 3–0 victory.[2] In Serie A, Bastoni remained as an unused substitute for the six games after Genoa until making his debut in a 1–0 win over Sampdoria on 22 January 2017, playing full 90 minutes.[3]
Internazionale
On 31 August 2017, Internazionale announced the signing of Bastoni for an undisclosed fee, and on the same day, his loan at Atalanta for the next two seasons.[4] Inter officially recalled defender Alessandro Bastoni early from his loan with Atalanta and renewed his contract until 2023 on July 14, 2018.[5]
Loan to Parma
On 7 August 2018, Bastoni joined to Parma on loan until 30 June 2019.[6] He made his debut on 7 October 2018, in the league match won 3–1 away against Genoa.
International career
Bastoni has been capped by Italy at every level from U15 to U19. His first international goal came in a 4–0 win over Norway whilst playing for the under-16 team. He was first called up to the under-18 side by coach Paolo Nicolato in August 2016,[7] and was made captain in his second game; a 2–2 draw with the Netherlands. He was called up to the Italy under-19 side by coach Paolo Nicolato on August 9, 2017 at the age of 18.
He made his debut with the Italy U21 team on 11 October 2018, in a friendly match lost 1–0 against Belgium.
