Inter are looking for a backup for Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, with Brescia starlet Sandro Tonali being one of the two names highlighted by the club, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
The report details how the Nerazzurri are set to let Spanish midfielder Borja Valero leave the club after his contract expires at the end of the season. This means that a replacement is needed, with Tonali being an attractive option. The 19-year-old Italian, who is contracted to Brescia until 2021, would cost around €40 million, a low price considering his potential.
Another option is Barcelona midfielder Carles Aleñá, the report continues. The 22-year-old could be included in the deal for Inter striker Lautaro Martinez and has been compared to Italy legend Andrea Pirlo due to his specialty as a regista. Aleñá has already made 39 appearances for Barcelona and would be a low-cost option.
