Tonali becomes the latest Milan player to sign a new contract

Sandro Tonali has become the latest player to sign a new contract with Serie A champions Milan.

The 22-year-old, who joined Brescia in September 2020 on an initial loan, has agreed a new five-year deal at San Siro.

Milan head coach Stefano Pioli recently confirmed that the club are in talks to extend the stay of Tonali, who would have doubled his salary with his new terms.

Tonali has played 84 times for the Rossoneri since his arrival, a total bettered only by Franck Kessie (86), Rafael Leao (87), Theo Hernandez and Alexis Saelemaekers (both 89).

The 22-year-old has made exactly 100 Serie A appearances. Among players with 100 or more appearances in the competition, Tonali is the youngest of them.

Milan announced the new contract on their official website on Friday, a day after fellow midfielder Rade Krunic extended his stay with the club until 2025.

Striker Leao is also in talks over a new deal with Milan, who started their Scudetto defense with three wins and two draws in their first five games.
