According to what Calciomercato.com are reporting, the Premier League side actually presented their bid for Tonali last week and it was around €55-60m including bonuses, but Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani have rejected it.
At the moment Milan’s request is at least €80m, while Tonali is currently not open to the idea of a move to the Magpies but a lot will depend on the contract offer they put forward, because the potential to double your salary would make any player reflect.
Milan bought Tonali permanently in the summer of 2021 having paid €7m plus €3m in bonuses in addition to the loan fee and young playmaker Giacomo Olzer as a counterpart valued at €3m.
Tonali reduced his salary to €1.2m net per season to help the operation go through, showing his love for his boyhood club, but he then signed a renewal last September which saw it go back up to €2.5m/yr.
