Brescia president Massimo Cellino has stated that Sandro Tonali will not be leaving the club this summer.

The 18-year-old has emerged as a top talent this season.

The midfielder is attracting interest from the likes of Liverpool.

However, Brescia do not want to sell, as they will be back in Serie A for the 2019-2020 season.

Cellino has told Radio Rai: "Tonali needs to grow, Brescia is the best place to do it.

"To whom do I compare him? He reminds me of Falcao. A complete player, but a bit different.

"He has the cold blood of a killer, the smile of a child and is still 19 years old.

"He's a nice surprise, a nice player."
