The agent of Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni has hailed his form this season.

Tulio Tinti has likened Bastoni to AC Milan great Paolo Maldini.

“A predestined one," Tinti told Rai Radio 1 Sport. “I have never seen anyone play at his level, at his age, if not maybe Maldini.

“He has a bright future ahead of him and he deserves it."

He added: “It's not the time to negotiate for renewals, so we will wait.

“But there are no problems, the player is well and he can wait too."
