In one of the most exciting transfers of the summer transfer window, Milan signed Sandro Tonali after he appeared destined to join Inter. The midfielder's soon to be former president Massimo Cellino discussed the move in a recent interview with Messagero:"It had never happened to me to discover such a strong player. I would've liked to keep him, but unfortunately the dream ended because of the relegation and the uncertainty created by the pandemic.
"Sandro has been a Milan fan since he was a kid. The deal with them made doubly happy: I also respected a club that gave value to money. Maldini has the Milan dna and has everything needed to become a great director. Inter made a mistake in the way they acted. Marotta wanted him and Conte adores him. The clubs that approached us were refused because of the nerazzurri. But then the player also wanted to know his future"
