News exploded late last night regarding Newcastle United’s attempt to sign Tonali. MilanNews reported that their interest in Tonali very concrete and that they had put forward a bid worth €60m while offering a big pay rise to the player.
The most recent update from Calciomercato.com stated that Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani have rejected that bid and are asking for €80m to even consider a sale, while a lot will depend on the midfielder’s willingness to actually leave his boyhood club.
Pellegatti spoke during the radio show Tutti Convocati on Radio 24 about the rumours surrounding Tonali and a potential move to the north of England, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.
“Is 65 million a lot for Tonali? Yes, but 80 million is a lot for Maignan, 80 for Theo Hernandez, 100 for Leao. The Milan fans fear that if it is enough for a club to bring an offer and Milan are always available to talk about it, we could lose others,” he said.
