AC Milan looking at 3 top players to replace Bilgia

Lucas Biglia is in his last year of contract with AC Milan and the Rossoneri are searching a replacement for the defensive midfielder.

SANDRO TONALI – BRESCIA

Another old transfer target of AC Milan, but much younger than the two other candidates, is Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali.

The 19-year-old defensive midfielder took Italian football by storm last season being named Footballer of the Year in Serie B. This year is his first season in Serie A.

The Italian talent has never hidden his desire to join Milan where his idol Gennaro Gattuso made a name for himself. “Pirlo has inspired me but I’ve never seen another like him. My role model is Gattuso.

Sandro Tonali is more in line with Elliot’s policy of signing young and promising players that can become first-team regulars in a short time. His current price tag is €20-25 million but this figure could change depending on his performances this year.

Sandro Tonali

Tonali made 34 league appearances last season outclassing opposition players with far more experience. He found the back of the net on 3 occasions, provided 7 assists and guided Brescia to Serie A promotion. The deep-lying playmaker is being followed by a number of clubs but the opportunity to play a young squad favors AC Milan and could facilitate Maldini’s job.
