Sandro Tonali says he is relaxed about his future as Brescia owner Massimo Cellino ‘knows what the best solution is’.
Inter, Juventus, Milan and Roma have all been linked with Tonali, who recently helped Brescia win promotion to Serie A, but he insists he has no preference over which club he could join.
“My dream is to live football,” the midfielder told Gazzetta dello Sport.

Sandro Tonali says he is relaxed about his future as Brescia owner Massimo Cellino ‘knows what the best solution is’.
Inter, Juventus, Milan and Roma have all been linked with Tonali, who recently helped Brescia win promotion to Serie A, but he insists he has no preference over which club he could join.
“My dream is to live football,” the midfielder told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I have fun and I slave away for it willingly, but I know I can’t mess up now: I don’t have a plan B…
“Promotion to Serie A was the greatest emotion of my life after being called up to the national team.
“Whatever my future is, I’ll make a decision with my President. Cellino is a good man. He knows what the best solution is for my future.
“I’m happy to stay here. Maybe I could become an icon for Brescia. I don’t have a preference over Inter, Juve, Milan and Roma, I’m just interested in playing.
“Anything is possible, but the football that I like is played in Italy. My father is a Milan fan, while my mother and my uncle are Inter fans.
“As a child I went crazy for the Rossoneri colours and my idol was Gattuso. I was at San Siro for Kaka’s goal against Lazio and I watched Seedorf’s goal at Chievo.”
The 18-year-old has been compared to Andrea Pirlo in playing style, stature, his Brescia background – and hair…
“I don’t think about it. I’m a midfielder, I play for the team. ‘Regista’ is another role,” he argued.
“In Italy Verratti has the touch and experience at the highest level, but Sensi also stands out. I don't have their technique: I’m being realistic, not modest.
“Gerrard was a dynamic ‘regista’ and Modric is unique for his style. I keep my feet on the ground.
“I know that I must work hard and well to become stronger, but I’m getting by.”
