Ever since the departure of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle United at the start of the 2023 summer window, there has been periodical talk about why he might end up back at AC Milan.
For example, a few weeks ago Carlo Pellegatti spoke of his conviction that the boyhood Milan fan will end up back at the club, potentially wearing the captain’s armband too to make the journey full circle.
However, PianetaMilan have confirmed that while Milan and Newcastle United have held recent transfer discussions, they are related to Kieran Trippier rather than Tonali.
The Englishman could take the spot of Davide Calabria and/or Alessandro Florenzi, whose contracts both out at the end of the season.
What about Tonali then? Well, he wants to stay in the Premier League in the short term and repay Newcastle and their fans for staying close to him while he served his suspension.
Moreover, the Italian signed a contract until 2028 and he gets a salary of €7m net per season fixed plus €2m in bonuses, which would make him Milan’s highest earner.
Tonali’s ‘love for Milan remains’, but a return is not likely to happen ‘for at least a couple of years’. By then, the player ‘might be homesick and willing to give up half of his salary’.
Let it go! You all are acting like desperate ex’s.
I get that it was an amicable split and there’s still much love but if you guys think he’s going turn his back on a club that has only shown him love and wants to pay him oodles of money then you are quite foolish. Like that friend we all have waiting for his ex to call
Why are you ranting at yourself? No one even commented on this matter apart from anti Tonali fans and Gerry boys.
Maybe he could come off the bench for us like he does at newcastle, but he’d have to take a big pay cut.
Reinder , fofana, tonali
would be an awsome midfield
And still some ppl like to say he was “forced out” – like the 7mil plus bonuses had nothing to do with his sudden departure. That said I hope he comes back when he’s had enough of the place.
I wouldn’t say he was forced out but out door wasn’t exactly closed shut now was it
He needs the 7 mill a season just to feed himself properly in that hell-hole. They probably call pizza “pies” over there.
Hahaha… Same old story. Why not you create story to Donnarumma ? Maybe he is homesick and wants to cut his salary too like Tonali ? Hahaha.. maybe 15 years later…
Trippier?! Lmaooooooo 😂😂😂
I’m no smoker but I want some of whatever it is they smoke at PianetaMilan.
