Alessandro Bastoni has put a turbulent year behind him and is focusing exclusively on the new season. The defender is working hard in training camp with the team, determined to make a fresh start in the best possible way after months at the center of numerous rumors, including those related to the transfer market.
According to Quotidiano Sportivo, the club, Chivu, and the entire group are rallying around the player while awaiting developments. This support had already emerged last season, when the defender was booed in away stadiums due to the Kalulu case and the red card he received against Bosnia, which proved decisive for Italy‘s third consecutive failure to qualify for a World Cup final stage.
At San Siro, however, Bastoni was among the most applauded during the Scudetto celebrations, with the affection continuing even in Piazza Duomo. It is not ruled out that in the upcoming championship, chants and boos from opposing fans may resurface. Precisely for this reason, in the past, the possibility of a farewell seemed concrete, a scenario that now appears very unlikely.
The only answer the defender can give, while justice continues its course to ascertain any responsibilities, is the one he is already giving: head down, work, and silence.
