CM: Newcastle star Tonali wants 'return to Italy' - Milan's stance amid obvious preference
"As Calciomercato reports, the former Milan man wants a return to Italy, perhaps at the end of this season. In fact, the roadmap looks like this; lead Italy to the World Cup, then Newcastle to Europe and then, return home. Giuseppe Riso, who spoke about his future this morning, 'has been trying so hard to keep the rumours at bay', but Tonali's mind is clear. He wants to return to Serie A."
"Obviously, the links will point back to the Rossoneri, who have never closed the door to his return and neither has he. However, they have not shown 'the necessary interest' just yet, and negotiations with Newcastle could be difficult after the gambling saga. Juventus, Arsenal and Napoli are all taking a look at the player, and would all be considered a host of significant interest, if he was to leave the North East in the next few months."
"Of those, it seems only the Gunners may be able to fulfil his wage demands, and more importantly, the asking price from Newcastle. Sky UK reports that the Geordies will ask for €80 million for the midfielder, but it would be even higher for an English rival. An exit would be complicated, certainly, but this is where the will of the player may be key. After all, his value is only going to decrease in the future, with a deal expiring in 2028."
Sandro Tonali intends to return to Italy after the season, aiming to lead Italy at the World Cup, help Newcastle qualify for Europe, then move back home. Giuseppe Riso has tried to calm speculation, but Tonali remains determined to rejoin Serie A. AC Milan remains a possible destination but has not shown decisive interest, and negotiations with Newcastle could be complicated by the club's gambling saga. Juventus, Arsenal and Napoli are monitoring the situation. Arsenal may be best placed to meet both wage demands and Newcastle's reported €80m asking price. The player's desire could be decisive, with his contract running until 2028 and value potentially falling over time.
