Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali seemed set for a move to Inter, but Il Corriere dello Sport believes Milan have a chance of hijacking the operation.
The newspaper reports technical director Paolo Maldini has been working behind the scenes and gone through the player’s representatives to officially present an offer to President Massimo Cellino.
Milan proposed a loan deal with an option to buy and Cellino rejected the initial offer, as the Rossoneri didn’t match his target to bring in at least €35m.
Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali seemed set for a move to Inter, but Il Corriere dello Sport believes Milan have a chance of hijacking the operation.
The newspaper reports technical director Paolo Maldini has been working behind the scenes and gone through the player’s representatives to officially present an offer to President Massimo Cellino.
Milan proposed a loan deal with an option to buy and Cellino rejected the initial offer, as the Rossoneri didn’t match his target to bring in at least €35m.
The report claims Inter had offered this amount in their initial approach, a loan deal with an obligation to buy next summer.
The Nerazzurri had even added further bonuses to the deal and Tonali’s representatives reportedly reached a preliminary agreement with Inter.
But Inter, who participated in the Europa League during August, stopped the negotiations for a while and the inactivity has allegedly annoyed the Brescia patron.
Corriere dello Sport reveals Cellino has been looking around for other possible suitors and Milan have new-found hope of competing with Inter.
