AC Milan are in advanced discussions with Brescia for the services of midfield prodigy Sandro Tonali, according to The Guardian's Fabrizio Romano.
A bid has reportedly been submitted that includes a €10-million loan spell plus an additional €20-million option to buy. Brescia will also reportedly receive a percentage of a future sell for the thrice-capped Italian international.
Tonali has been heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan, while Juventus were also reportedly interested in the revered regista who's drawn comparison to Andrea Pirlo.
In reality, Tonali is more of a powerful runner and ball carrier than new Juve boss Pirlo, though the 20-year-old does boast a refined passing range for a player of his age.
According to Romano, Inter are considering other options. Barcelona agitator Arturo Vidal remains Antonio Conte's No. 1 backup plan, while Tottenham's Tanguy Ndombele is also being monitored.
The Guardian reported in late July that Spurs would be willing to accept a reduced €50-million from Inter for Ndombele after the Frenchman fell out of favor with Jose Mourinho following the Portuguese manager's appointment in November.
