Furthermore, the former Marseille star believes that Bastoni would improve Barcelona so much they would be able to reach the next level.
Subsequently, Desailly argued that Bastoni has exactly what Barcelona are lacking: defensive solidity.
However, the former France star argued that Barcelona have fantastic players in every department bar the defence.
Therefore, signing Bastoni would be the missing piece to help them win the Champions League.
Desailly made these statements in an interview with SempreInter.com and The Italian Football Podcast, at an online event hosted by BetVictor Online Casino.
