According to Fabrizio Romano among other sources, the midfielder will join new Premier League power Newcastle for €70m including bonuses, and Tonali will get a potential €9m net per season for six years.
We tried to explain in a recent feature how the move would be received by the Milan fan base given the uncertainty of the project after Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara’s exit, but also what the future now holds with an increased operating budget.
Riso spoke during an interview with Sportitalia last night and he was asked about Tonali’s decision to swap the north of Italy for the north of England, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.
“At the beginning it wasn’t easy to explain the project, but he is intelligent and he understood it immediately and we found the right solution for everyone: for Milan and for Sandro, who is going to gain experience in the NBA of football,” he said.
