The news came as a shock to most Milan fans but the negotiations proceeded quickly and an agreement was eventually struck between the two clubs. Tonali accepted the move, knowing that Milan would get a lot of money and also because of the salary.
According to the reliable Antonio Vitello, Milan will get €80m for the sale including bonuses. There will also be a future resale percentage clause in favour of the Rossoneri. In short, it was an offer that the club couldn’t pass up on.
Tonali will earn a whopping €8m plus €2m in bonuses per year, according to Vitiello, and that says a lot about the deal as a whole. Milan will not sell another star this summer, though, as it would weaken the team too much.
