AC Milan legend Arrigo Sacchi has given Sandro Tonali's move his full backing. The transfer of the 23-year-old is expected to be confirmed when his involvement with Italy at the under-21 European Championships comes to an end.
The midfielder is set to complete a £63m switch from the Serie A giants in a deal the now 77-year-old says was too good for his former club to turn down. Sacchi is held in high regard by the Rossoneri for his achievements in the late 1980s.
He won the title in his first season in charge, before delivering back-to-back European cups in 1989 and 1990. He's been having his say on Milan's summer transfer window and believes they were right to accept the bid from Newcastle United.
