Brescia boss Eugenio Corini claims Italy starlet Sandro Tonali will be ‘the new Daniele De Rossi’ and not another Andrea Pirlo.

Tonali had been heavily likened to Pirlo in playing style, stature and appearance, as well as also starting his career with Brescia, but Corini believes the 18-year-old will turn out to be more like the Roma captain.

“He’ll be the new De Rossi, a team player,” the former Palermo and Chievo man told Gazzetta dello Sport.

Speculation linking Ramsey with Juve has intensified in recent days, given he has an expiring contract, and Pirlo believes the Welshman would be an ‘excellent’ signing for the Bianconeri.

“Ramsey would be a great buy,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

Andrea Pirlo believes former Milan teammate Gennaro Gattuso will remain in charge at San Siro. “He deserves to stay, he’s doing everything he possibly can.”

Gattuso’s position as Milan boss is reportedly insecure after his side went a fifth game without a win, but Pirlo made it clear his fellow World Cup winner could not have done any better in the circumstances.

“I have no doubt, Rino deserves to stay at Milan,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

Andrea Pirlo believes Carlo Ancelotti and Napoli “will aim to win the Europa League” after their elimination from the Champions League.

The Partenopei lost 1-0 to Liverpool last night, going out of the competition on goals scored after the two sides finished level on points, head-to-head and goal difference.

Last season’s elimination saw Maurizio Sarri rotate heavily and a swift exit from the Europa League, but Pirlo doesn’t think that’ll be the case this season.

Controversial Brescia owner Massimo Cellino has explained why he believes Sandro Tonali is the new Andrea Pirlo. “I’m rarely wrong.”

Tonali has been heavily likened to Pirlo, given the pair started their careers at Brescia, are both deep-lying playmakers and have similar hairstyles.

“It’s increasingly difficult to find Italians who play regularly, and that hurts our football and national team,” Cellino told RMC Sport.

“I think Cristiano Ronaldo has noticed what an important team he has behind him, particularly at Valencia,” the defender said from Monday’s Gran Gala’ del Calcio ceremony.
