"According to Sky Sports in the UK, Tonali's contract has been extended until 2029, with Newcastle also having the option of an additional year. When he signed from Milan the initial deal ran until 2028, so it shifts the deadline back by at least a year. The journalist Keith Downie also reports that the Italian midfielder agreed the deal in secret during his ban for illegal betting, to protect Newcastle financially with them having not been able to use him for 10 months."
""Tonali's comments have fuelled the imagination of many fans, especially in Italy and especially at AC Milan: he's always left the door open to his return to the Rossoneri. I want to tell you the most likely scenario right now, considering it's mid-October," he said. "At the moment, it's practically impossible to imagine Tonali leaving Newcastle in January; we'll discuss it again in June: the interested clubs will have to work on it for next year."
Tonali's contract at Newcastle has been extended until 2029, with the club holding an option for an additional year. The extension moves the previous 2028 deadline back by at least one year. The agreement was completed in secret during Tonali's ban for illegal betting to protect Newcastle financially after the club had been unable to use him for ten months. The 25-year-old now has three-and-a-half years remaining on his deal, plus the optional year, which reduces the likelihood of Newcastle being forced to sell him next summer. Return-to-Milan speculation persists, but a January move is considered highly unlikely and financial hurdles could complicate any future transfer.
