A lot has happened over the last 24 hours, with Sandro Tonali now just being one step away from Newcastle in a deal worth close to €80m. And AC Milan have already identified his replacement, a report claims.
The Tonali-Newcastle news broke last night and the Sky Italia, among others, are reporting that the midfielder has said ‘yes’ to the move. Milan turned down the offer of €70m and have countered with €80m, with an agreement now close.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Milan have identified Davide Frattesi as the replacement. Sassuolo have slapped a €40m price tag on the 23-year-old and the Rossoneri could come close to that in order to beat the competition of Juventus and Inter).
Frattesi bagged seven goals for Sassuolo this past season and is currently on international duty with Italy. In the Nations League game against the Netherlands, he scored a goal and assisted another, with the big clubs in Italy watching on.
