Sandro Tonali is not currently thinking about returning to Italy despite the links with a potential move to AC Milan or their rivals.
Earlier in the week, a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport suggested that Tonali is feeling a bit unhappy with his situation at Newcastle and is already thinking about coming back to Serie A, with Milan naturally mentioned as a potential destination.
However, Eddie Howe replied to the reports in a press conference this week and stated that there was no intention of letting the midfielder leave, at least not yet.
“It’s not in our plans to do without Sandro. These are rumours that make me laugh. Sandro is a vital part of what we are doing, we have made a long-term investment in him and personally, I am really happy with him, we have built a solid relationship,” he said.
Now, Matteo Moretto has given an update on Tonali during a column for Relevo, denying any possibility that the Italian is pushing to go back to his home country.
“Keep an eye on the situation of an Italian player, Sandro Tonali. The Newcastle midfielder has been at the centre of several transfer rumours in the last week, and I would like to say what I know: there are no plans for a transfer before January,” he said.
“Tonali is currently only thinking about Newcastle and is not considering returning to Italy. The tangible proof is the performance that Tonali offered yesterday in the match against Leicester, an immediate response to the rumours with a top performance.”
Maybe in 2027. Doubt they’ll sell him before that unless he becomes real bad. And if he plays real bad would we even want him back?
Yeah I agree I could see that 2027 could be the year for a possible return with one year on his contract. Highly unlikely to happen before that if ever.
He doesnt play badly from what I’ve seen but if the team keeps struiggling maybe they could be forced to sell some of their players at some point so who knows what might happen.¨
Anywho I would welcome him back.
Tonali has become best pair with Bruno.
Tonali is solving the problems that the current team facing with defensive teams and dmf problem to play Bruno more in the attack. All players admit he’s very good and he control the rhythem of the match.
No way he is leaving or Newcastle want to sell him. these are perfect rumours
