Inter and Juventus have both moved ahead of the wealth of competition for the signature of Brescia starlet Sandro Tonali according to a report from Corriere dello Sport.

While plenty enquiries have been made and scouting missions completed by various clubs, the Serie B outfit are still yet to receive a formal offer for the 18-year-old midfielder who is being tipped for a very bright future.

The Nerazzurri and Bianconeri are head of the likes of Roma, Milan and Chelsea for the youngster, who has recently earned recognition from Italian national team manager Roberto Mancini, who called him up for the games this international break.

Tonali broke out on to the scene with the Rondinelle last season and has since drawn comparisons to Andrea Pirlo for not only his similar hairstyle but playing style too. This season he has made 11 appearances, scoring one goal and tallying four assists in the process.
