Napoli push for Tonali

By Football Italia staff

Napoli are reportedly trying to close a deal for Sandro Tonali of Brescia, dubbed the new Andrea Pirlo.

The youngster has been attracting interest from Inter, Juventus, Milan and Chelsea, and may be included in Roberto Mancini’s Italy squad for the upcoming matches.

According to Il Mattino though, the Partenopei are looking to get in ahead of the competition and sign Tonali.

President Aurelio De Laurentiis has spoken directly to his Brescia counterpart, Massimo Cellino, to discuss a deal.

The Serie B side are asking for around €35m, but Napoli will try to do a deal which would involve loaning Tonali back to his current club.
