Sandro Tonali has made it his priority to return to Serie A if he does leave Newcastle, but AC Milan risk being bystanders.
As Calciomercato.com recall, Matteo Moretto reported on Fabrizio Romano’s Italian YouTube channel that there was some talk about a deadline day move for Tonali, but Newcastle have never opened up to selling the midfielder.
There was not enough time to reflect on what would have been a controversial sale, but starting this summer, Tonali’s future will be up for discussion. Several clubs are poised and ready to explore the idea of signing him prior to 2026-27.
Premier League teams are willing and able to invest significant sums in both Tonali’s transfer fee and his salary. Moretto emphasises that the Magpies will theoretically ask for a fee even higher than €90m to sell.
Italy calls
In this discussion, it is worth remembering the words of agent Beppe Riso to Tuttosport: “Newcastle is having a hard time letting go of Sandro and he wants to take the club to the Champions League. These transfer market discussions will take place later.
“We’ll see how the season ends and then we’ll evaluate what to do. Juventus? There is no preference at the moment. Newcastle couldn’t let go of him now and it wasn’t the case to move, also because Sandro is very attached to the club. In the summer we’ll evaluate and decide what to do.”
If Italy were in his future again, where could Tonali play? The midfielder’s priority would be to return to play in Serie A and ‘why not Milan’, Calciomercato add. The Rossoneri have ‘never had any contact over a romantic return, also due to Newcastle ‘s high demands’, at least for now.
The entire Juventus management believe Tonali’s name is perfect for the Bianconeri’s future. The 25-year-old player remains the dream, and next summer could be the perfect time to make the move.
The harsh reality is that Milan cannot afford Tonali and we really don’t need him. Our midfield is stacked and if Modric doesn’t renew then I see Milan getting Verratti and or Goretzka on a free transfer.
Milan should focus on getting a top quality striker and Cab. With the budget we have we should spend the majority of it on getting Oshimen and Gila.
Does that say Verratti?
When was the last time you watch Verratti play a serious competitive football?
it was in same time when Milan buy serious player & serious ambition
Tonali doesn’t care about anything but money. So no, he can stay there and play for the epitome of mediocrity in Newcastle. He made his choice. Or he can go back to Bergamo and see if Atalanta or Brescia want him.
Meanwhile our beloved overlords from the land of the free hate money and are here for the passion and aesthetics of football.
Seems very harsh. My impression is that he was kind of pushed out to make money for the club when he transferred to Newcastle? If anything he moved to help AC milan.
“why not Milan?” and “90M price tag” in the same headline.
Sort of answering your own questions there CM.
