Sandro Tonali is reportedly piling pressure on Brescia to green-light his move to AC Milan amid ongoing negotiations between the clubs.
Tonali first came under the spotlight for his blistering showings in Serie B.
But, he has soaked up the limelight as one of Italy’s brightest young talents during his debut Serie A season.
Dubbed ‘The new Pirlo’ for his ability to distribute the ball from deep inside the midfield, the 20-year-old would be a massive addition to Stefano Pioli’s side.
Tonali’s vision, pinpoint passing, and tireless pressing off the ball makes him a perfect ‘Pirlo-Gattuso combo.’
Only a few days ago, Inter Milan seemed to be on the brink of announcing the playmaker’s signing.
However, Milan’s last-moment interference has complicated things for Antonio Conte’s side.
The Rossoneri sporting director Paolo Maldini opened talks with Brescia yesterday. It didn’t take long before the San Siro outfit overtook city rivals in the race for the youngster.
According to MilanNews, Tonali is one step away from joining the resurgent giants after Milan came up with better terms.
In fact, the Lodi native is assisting Maldini on seeing a deal through, as he’s pushing Brescia to sanction the move.
After reiterating multiple times that he is a die-hard AC Milan fan, it’s not strange he is willing to dump Inter for their fierce rivals.
Therefore, Tonali is allying Milan in the ongoing talks, looking to make his boyhood dream come true.
