Even the poor source admits nothing is likely happening as the player is probably headed to Inter. So meh...
Your guess is as good as mine as he'd elevate our midfield instantly and doesn't have an absurd release clause/fee attached to him

imagine letting a top talent join your city rival just to appease Conte and his desire for "experience"
crazy this..He doesn't want to leave Italy according to reports.
The reports said that he was advised not to leave Italy and stay in Serie-A.
Cool story bro.
Nah, still developing and now really enjoying his ride at Milan.
Think he was pretty good and scored some important goals in the last half of the season.
Was Pretty decent i say.
I'm sure Ten Hag would love this kind of player but it will never happen. I just hope we sign some midfielders this summer.
Who would you prefer if you could only pick one of him or Barella? I don’t follow enough Serie A week in, week out to have that opinion, though I’m biased towards Tonali in terms of style - albeit Barella was really good during Italy’s Euros run.
I’m out of the loop here but are you are scout by profession?
Barella is better but they're different players to begin with.
Yeah, I noted as much in my post (different players). Just wasn’t sure how Tonali was doing in serie A.
I follow serie A and I would pick Tonali. I am an admirer of Barella and rate him highly. I just get that feeling of something special with Tonali. You know when you watch a player who hasn’t blossomed fully yet but you get that vibe about him like Modric at spurs for example in the first year or two. Barella is box to box, energetic, a fighter of a player who is more advanced in his development than Tonali. But Tonali has that guile, the calmness, the passing and is a fighter too. Barella is a banker of a player though. You know you would get consistent 7/10 out of him. However, I think Tonali has a higher ceiling and technically I rate him higher too.
YouTube scout like the rest of usThanks for this. I must say I haven’t watched nearly enough of Tonali, outside of the hype before his move to AC - “the new Pirlo” etc.
Yep.
He's doing well and I like the look of him, had a part in some of the crucially parts of milan's title winning campaign, it's just that I think barrella has the potential to be one of the best of his generation while I place tonali a level lower, he could prove me wrong those.
Interesting, we seem to differ drastically on this subject, while I agree that tonali seems to have the right mentality and temper to succeed overall I find his technical ability lacking to reach say Modric levels of quality in my opinion.
No, someone just bumped this thread to say he's a good player.
The answer is in who bumped it
Oh no, i just gave an example of Modric when you see something in a player before that player reaching his potential. I never intended to compare him to Modric quality wise. My bad. Should have chosen words carefully to avoid the confusion. Players like Modric doesn’t come often. So it would be silly to compare it to someone like him.
No worries, I understood your point and was just trying to give an example so I used him as you already referred to him in your post.
Yeah agreed with the last bit - doubt they’ll be leaving. Good options in the Italian midfield, even though Verratti remains by far my favorite - albeit he’s way too injury prone.
