Former legendary midfielder of AC Milan, Demetrio Albertini, spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport and stressed why Sandro Tonali could be the face of the Rossoneri team:
"Age, sense of belonging, tireless spirit, representative of the Italian block in the team, Sandro has everything to become an icon for the club, I’ve been saying this since he arrived at Milan and was struggling."
He added:
"It is quite right that the new ownership would decide to make him a pillar, a player like Tonali is fundamental to build the foundations of the Milan of the future, but it will be up to him to take up the challenge."
Albertini continued:
"If we look at the season that has just ended, I would say that it is normal: Tonali has had an amazing year. If we talk more generally, I think that contracts must be respected, that they cannot be adjusted year after year. In Sandro's history at Milan however, there was the gesture of cutting his salary: it is a positive anomaly, a rarity that we have seen very few other times in the world of football, and it is right that the club recognises it in some way."
