Sandro Tonali bombshell as AC Milan get excited about possible Newcastle United exit
According to the Italian publication Calciomercato, AC Milan would be amenable to re-signing the midfield player. Last year, Newcastle spent more than £50 million to sign the 24-year-old, whose difficulties are widely known.
After receiving a 10-month sentence for violating betting laws, Tonali missed the most of his debut season. Toon chiefs spent the majority of their summer budget to bring him from the San Siro because of his offense, which predates his time on Tyneside and ruined United’s season.
Since his return, Eddie Howe has utilized the midfielder little, which has caused some to doubt his future at St. James’ Park. Tonali has been used as a defensive midfielder in recent weeks, which has resulted in better performances.
Newcastle fans have witnessed glimpses of Tonali’s brilliance and are hoping to see him forge a key midfield partnership with Bruno Guimaraes.
Once billed as one of Europe’s top prospects, outings for Italy have given Toon supporters hope that better days are ahead.
When Tonali returned to the San Siro for Italy’s 3-1 loss to France last month, the home crowd welcomed him with open arms.
According to reports, he might be making the move permanent as Newcastle considers a major departure to free up cash.
The former Milan player talked candidly about his challenging first season in England earlier this year. “It was a very difficult but very fruitful journey last year,” he remarked.
It is right that I never forget the year I spent off the field, therefore I will always have that memories with me.
“I think when a player trains all week without his ultimate goal, which is the game, he finds a sense of emptiness within himself.
It wasn’t easy to be away from home for the first year without playing an official game, but just trying to maintain fitness. That was the challenge I had to take as seriously as possible.”
