Inter have an advantage over arch rivals Juventus in the race to sign Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, which was aired a short time ago.

The report explains that the highly rated Italian national team player has told Inter that he considers them among his favourite potential next destinations.

Brescia president and owner Massimo Cellino is continuing to demand €50 million for Tonali, who is widely regarded as one of the best up and coming Italian prospects out there at the moment.

Inter are ahead and need to make sure they remain ahead with the report warning that a deal for Tonali is unlikely to be concluded quickly.

This season the 20-year-old has made 24 appearances across all competitions for La Rondinelle, who he has a contract with until the end of next season. In his time on the park, he has scored one goal and provided five assists for his teammates.
