MILAN, July 9 — AC Milan said Thursday they have signed midfielder Sandro Tonali, who spent last season on loan from Brescia, on a five-year deal worth around €20 million (RM99.2 million).
“After making 37 appearances last season he will continue to wear the rossonero jersey until June 30, 2026 (the expired loan deal included),” a Milan statement read.
The well regarded 21-year-old has four Italian caps to his name.
Last year he joined the club of his childhood idol, Gennaro Gattuso, but was generally used sparingly in a defensive role as cover for Franck Kessie and Ismael Bennacer.
