The player will wear the number 8 jersey.
Born in Lodi on 8 May 2000, Sandro Tonali started playing football with Lombardia Uno, an AC Milan academy, before moving to Piacenza and then, aged 12, to Brescia. Tonali came through the youth ranks of the Rondinelle, making his senior début in Serie B aged 17. In three seasons as a professional player with Brescia, Tonali made 89 appearances, scoring 7 goals.
Sandro has also played for the Italian U19 (11 apps) and U21 (5 apps) teams and made his Italian senior debut on 19 October 2019. He has 3 international caps for the Italian National team.
Ivan Gazidis, CEO of AC Milan, said: "We are delighted to welcome Sandro Tonali to AC Milan. He is one of the most promising young talents in international football. Sandro has a love for the Club and an understanding of its values that will add to what we want to build together. Welcome Sandro!".
Paolo Maldini, AC Milan's Technical Area Director added: “We are excited to welcome Sandro to the Rossoneri family. As a talented, young midfielder he will not only embrace the values of AC Milan but also make a significant contribution to the future success of the Club."

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 21 2020, 06:54 PM) Not really. He hasn't played that much to be honest. Bennacer last year started slowly as well. The thing is that Bennacer didn't have competition. It's hard to think Tonali can "steal" the spot of either Bennacer or Kessie cos they are too important for us. Yes, it surely is too early to tell. But I somehow started thinking Tonali was a mistake. We perhaps went with our heart there, not really with our mind. Tonali is young, green and if he grows into the star some predict he'll always be a gem player in the sense Gattuso was. Gattuso could have played (IMO) for Milan all career long or for Perugia. Having Pirlo, Seedorf and Rui beside him is what made his characteristics and style even more useful for us. But alone at Perugia he would easily fight against relegation along with Ahn and the rest of them. While Seedorf would have made the difference in Perugia. For a club with limited resources like us now, Tonali is maybe not a good investment. I don't see him making a difference with us, I don't see him overtake Kessie's or Bennacer's spot. And for a benchwarmer and talent he sure is expensive to keep.

And for a benchwarmer and talent he sure is expensive to keep. Yes, agreed on your overall main point. I don't agree that he will be essential a pure Gattuso type of player. He certainly has good vision and can deliver killer passes. It's certainly still raw talent and needs to be developed much much more. He is certainly (at least not for now) NOT a Pirlo type of deep-playing midfielder that can control the tempo and dictate the play. We'll see if that comes later on in his career. I think in the theory, yes it's a pretty expensive gamble, given our situation, but we DO need him. We don't really have any replacements for Kessie-Bennacer, and this has been shown clearly this season as Tonali has gotten a lot of minutes in. He needs game-time and practice to develop his raw potential, so let's what happens.
