Sandro Tonali, midfielder of Brescia, is one of the most promising players in Italian football and that is why he has earned the nickname 'The new Pirlo'. However, it has been Andrea Pirlo himself who has practically ruled out any resemblance between him and this young player who is wanted by Barcelona.
"They say that Tonali can be my heir. In my opinion, as a type of player, he doesn't resemble me, he resembles me more because of his long hair and because he plays in Brescia. For me, he is a different type of player, much more complete, both in defense and in midfield. He is a mixture between me and other players. He is undoubtedly the most promising midfielder in Italy. I don't see him as an heir because the way he plays is different, but he will undoubtedly become a great player," said the former AC Milan and Juventus player.
Sandro Tonali is a 20-year-old midfielder who has shone on his own in Brescia this season. Before the coronavirus break, he had played 23 matches with one goal and five assists. In October of last year, he made his debut with the Italian national team and now he is on the radar of clubs like Barcelona, Juventus, and Inter Milan.
