• Lorenzo Moretti(90% match) — Lorenzo Moretti is a Ball-Playing CB. Progressive defender comfortable on the ball.
• Alessandro Bastoni(80% match) — Bastoni has quietly become the most dangerous defender in Serie A that no one talks about in those terms—a left-sided centre-back who functions, in practice, as a deep-lying playmaker wearing the wrong shirt number. His passing volume sits in the top 5% of defenders in the league, and his passes into the final third rank similarly elite, meaning Inter's attacking phases are frequently being *authored* from the back.
• Federico Dimarco(80% match) — Dimarco is the rare left-sided defender who genuinely terrifies opponents in the final third—a set-piece specialist and overlap threat wrapped inside a defensive role. His numbers at Inter tell a fascinating story: key passes, goals, and assists all rank in Serie A's top 5% among defenders, a combination virtually no other defender in the league can claim.
