Sandro Tonali has reportedly already said yes to Newcastle’s contract offer, and so the white smoke for the midfielder’s transfer is getting closer.
Mario Meluso, the former sporting director of Foggia, Frosinone and Spezia, spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on Twitch TVPLAY channel, to talk about the market of AC Milan and other A teams, focusing on the transfer of Tonali and the future of Nzola.
“Tonali, at those figures, should be sold: the disposal is right,” said Meluso. “For me, Milan did well to accept. Having said that, you have to understand what Milan’s current policy is. What will happen after Massara and Maldini leave? A precise project is needed, while now I only see an attempt to balance the accounts after the purchase of the property. “
“Milan and its fans deserve respect and a quality team. The objective cannot be to float in Serie A. It’s fine to make a capital gain, but now it has to finance the improvement of the team for a competitive Milan,” said the interviewee, according to whom the sale of Tonali should lead to targeted investment.
Tonali, sale certain: ‘Milan had no choice but to sell him’
Rossoneri fans are now hoping Milan will take Frattesi, but the Sassuolo midfielder seems to prefer other destinations. If AC Milan convince Sassuolo, Davide Frattesi will still have to give up, as the other suitors still have no funds to invest
The manager also spoke about Nzola: ‘I appreciated him a lot, both as a player and as a man. Thiago Motta is very aware of the rules and their observance, so he almost never employed him. Exceptions were allowed in the past, not today. To Maradona and Platini you could grant exceptions, to others you couldn’t. Every now and then Nzola goes over the top. At La Spezia I got him for free, I know him well and I know his potential’.
Then a somewhat mean joke on Chiesa: ‘Chiesa has not come through his inactivity brilliantly, he has not returned to what we knew. The relationship with Allegri is not the problem. Certain injuries force you to recover over a longer period of time. Juventus could perhaps loan him out, but the best strategy will be known by the directors’.
So the manager launched a provocation: that of selling Chiesa on loan. But Juventus still has no clear plans for the future. For now they are trying to sell Vlahovic. If no one moves for the Serbian, Chiesa could also end up on the market.
