TMW: Newcastle source confirms Tonali might eventually want Italy return despite renewal
"It's difficult to answer, you never know what you want to do and what will happen. But I always tell everyone yes, ultimately an Italian always has the chance, even a 1%, of returning to Serie A. Maybe not now, I'm at a point where I've found my form and everything is fine. But I never close the door on a return to Serie A because it's my country and my league, which is becoming increasingly beautiful."
"He's a key player for us. We know he might even want to return to Italy in the coming years. It certainly won't be a topical issue in the short term."
Sandro Tonali has renewed his contract with Newcastle United by one year, with an option for an additional season. He wanted to show appreciation after the club supported him through his ban. The new deal pays €8m net per year and includes clauses enabling a potential return to Italy after debt repayment. The package effectively amounts to roughly €80m gross over five years, and any transfer would likely require a fee of around €80–90m. Newcastle regard him as a key player and acknowledge he might wish to return to Italy in coming years, though not in the short term. Tonali says he remains open to a Serie A return while presently content at Newcastle.
