Interviewed on Tiki Taka, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, chairman of Bayern Munich, denied any allaged interest in Sandro Tonali. Those were his words:
"No, we haven't talked about Tonali. I think that young players, for the first years of their careers, have to stay in their own country. When they go abroad too early, many find it difficult to settle in."
Sandro Tonali, 20 year old Italian midfielder signed with AC Milan on a loan move with option to buy after his former club Brescia was relegated to Serie B. Since then, Tonali managed to grab some starting spots within the AC Milan squad under coach Stefano Pioli's guidance and he also managed to show glimpses of his quality and technique.
