Barcelona have cooled their interest in signing Brescia teen sensation Sandro Tonali due to La Rondinelle’s asking price for him according to a report from Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo.
Barcelona showed a keen interest in landing the highly rated Italian national team midfielder who has been likened to Andrea Pirlo but upon learning Brescia wanted in the region of €60 million for him, they deemed a deal to be unfeasible.
This news will come as a real boost to both Inter and Juventus as there is now one less club for them to compete for his signature with.
Tonali is widely regarded as one of the best Italian prospects out there at the moment and Brescia club president Massimo Cellino recently admitted that he has promised Tonali that he will be allowed to make the first decision on his future.
This season Tonali has made 24 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored one goal and tallied five assists.
