The win against Hellas Verona sees AC Milan push forward for the Scudetto. The victory came with great persistence and hard work from all the team, but also Sandro Tonali in particular.
The Rossoneri number 8 showed great tactical flexibility as he worked really well in his defensive duties. But, he also showed what a great nose for goals he has when going forward, acting more like a mezzala. Tonali's brace proved why Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara decided to bet on him and insisted to sign him from Brescia.
Calciomercato.com shed light on the performance of the Italian midfielder and how he repaid the faith and trust put in him by coach Stefano Pioli and the whole management. Last season was his first at the San Siro and perhaps he did not show all of his qualities. However, he managed himself and coped despite difficulties and pressure. He proved his worth to all the doubters who had a lot of criticism towards him last year.
Sandro Tonali plays with passion and motivation for 90 minutes, non-stop and even sometimes through injuries. For him, playing for the Rossoneri was never a question of fame or money, it was a choice of the heart. He cheered for the red and black club since his childhood days. He proved his loyalty and faithfulness even further by accepting to reduce his salary to facilitate his permanent move to Milan in the previous summer.
Now, as per Calciomercat.com, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara want to reward their star. The Italian club directors should be meeting soon with Tonali's agent to discuss a contract renewal by 1 more year beyond the current deadline (June 2026) with a significant salary adjustment.
