Sandro Tonali ready to return to Serie A, immense disappointment for Milan: the midfielder signs with his old rivals
His experience in United Kingdomin the Newcastle shirt, is not going at all as expected. Although it should be noted that he remained out of action for almost a year after the football betting affair in which he was the protagonist.
Now, however, all this is in the past Sandro Tonali who is trying to restart. Especially with the national teamso much so as to regain his place in the middle of the midline and gain the trust of coach Spalletti who now can no longer do without him.
I ‘Magpies'they spent a lot to have him in the club's squad last season: almost 60 million euros. So far, though, it's not making a particularly big difference. Only 2 goals, as many assists in the 17 seasonal outings between championship and cup.
In recent days his name has been linked, even with a certain insistence, to the championship Serie A. For him it would be a sensational return. Not at Milan which made him grow and mature, but in the Rossoneri's all-time rival club.
Tonali, the return to Serie A is almost a given: confirmation has arrived
The confirmation comes directly from the well-known journalist and director of 'Corriere dello Sport', Ivan Zazzaroni: the midfielder is getting closer and closer to return to Italy. Not in any team, but in Juventus. This would be a truly sensational turn of events from a market perspective. The Bianconeri, the Italian ones, want to strengthen the midline with his arrival.
A purchase which, consequently, would rekindle the enthusiasm among the fans. The concern of the “Old Lady” is that of losing her place among the top four in the rankings, that is, the one that would allow her direct access to the next edition of the Champions League. Tonali's name came up during a meeting held in Turin where sporting director Giuntoli participated.
Serie A, Tonali's return possible: what a mockery for Milan
If this transfer to Juventus were to materialize, it would be a double insult for Milan. First of all because he would not accept a return to the club in via Aldo Rossi, then because it would strengthen a direct competitor as well as always rival. Furthermore, the head of the scouting area, Francesco Stefanelli e Francesco Romano (Giuntoli's right arm).
An operation which, however, does not involve a loan at all: but a definitive purchase. To do this you will have to shell out at least 55 million euros. The objective is to lower the demands of the English club. Maybe by including two players in the negotiation who can suit Newcastle like Kenan Yildiz and Nicolò Fagioli.
