Brescia starlet Sandro Tonali says he is not thinking about his future, and is just focused on trying to help the club stay in Serie A. The 19-year-old played a key role when helping Brescia win promotion from Serie B last season, and has hit the ground running in this campaign as well when putting in some sparkling displays.
His form has led to a call-up to the Italy national side and some of Europe top clubs are starting to form an orderly queue should he become available.
Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Manchester United have all been linked, leading club owner Massimo Cellino to slap a huge 300million euros transfer fee on his head.
Despite such a price-tag, the youngster remains calm and says he is just staying focused on matters on the pitch, not what people are saying about him or his future. “I love president Cellino very much and he rates me highly,” Tonali told Rai Sport. “He’s a great person and I hope to travel down a good road with him. “After the match against Fiorentina, he said he wouldn’t even sell me for 300m euros, but that doesn’t scare me, even if it really is a lot of money. I’m confident about what we’ll do this season. For now I’m not thinking about the market, I just want to help Brescia stay up.”
The playmaker was speaking ahead of Italy’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina, when he looks set to pick up his second cap.
