Massimo Pavan has expressed skepticism regarding the persistent rumors linking Barcelona to a high-value transfer for Alessandro Bastoni. Pavan suggests that this narrative is being deliberately promoted («sembra un dettato» — it seems like a dictated message).
He further asserts that, in the current market, Federico Gatti holds a higher valuation than Bastoni. This implies that Gatti’s potential and current performance are considered more significant by Pavan than Bastoni’s, despite the ongoing speculation surrounding the latter’s move to the Catalan club.
