According to the latest from Gianluca Di Marzio, there was a day of meetings for the Milan management today in which they spoke to several agents including Giuseppe Riso, who is the representative of Tonali.
Contrary to other reports, no concrete offer has arrived for the midfielder from Newcastle and the meeting today simply served to outline how to act in the event that the interest of Newcastle and even Chelsea becomes more concrete.
It has been decided that Milan will listen to the offers that arrive and that only then will the various options be offered to the player. Stefano Pioli himself was not informed of a hypothetical sale of the player.
In fact, the player has asked his entourage to be left calm at this moment, because he is involved with the Italy U21 side as captain at the European Championships.
Therefore he will be presented with a possible offer only if it becomes really concrete and formal. But to date there are no formal offers to evaluate.
The Athletic are reporting that Newcastle bid €50m for Tonali on Tuesday but that was not enough for Milan to consider selling, so they have now gone back in with an offer worth €70m and ‘the situation has progressed’.
