How Newcastle United feel about selling Sandro Tonali with AC Milan and Juventus interested

Tue 17 December 2024 12:15, UK

When Sandro Tonali returned from his ban at Newcastle United this season, many of the club supporters expected the midfielder to explode under Eddie Howe.

Prior to his 10 months on the sidelines, Tonali was showing promise for Newcastle♏ but wasn’t quite able to replicate his form for AC Milan initially.

🏅Newcastle would have certainly have imagined that Tonali would take time to adjust to Premier League football joining from the Serie A, but his settling was then disrupted by his ban.

Now, TBR Football🅰 understands that Newcastle are not interested in selling Tonali despite his frustrations about his game time.

Newcastle are refusing to consider Sandro Tonali returning to the Serie A

▨With Paul Mitchell at the helm, Newcastle are ready for an evolution this summer, but Tonali will be part of their future plans.

🅘Tonali has been frustrated upon his return from his ban as he wanted to play every game under Howe – he has not particularly agreed with Newcastle’s approach.

𝕴As a result, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus have been made aware of Tonali’s situation, and they would be keen on bringing him back to Italy in the long-term.

♊However, Newcastle insist that there are no issues and that Tonali leaving is not part of the club’s plans at all.

Interestingly, Newcastle changed their on-field plan for Tonali𝕴 as a result of Bruno Guimaraes staying at the club, and it simply seems as if it’s taking Howe some time to find the right balance in his midfield three.

Eddie Howe braced for a quiet January transfer window

🌟Of course, a lot of Newcastle fans will be wondering whether the club plan to invest in some talent to improve their league position in January.

🍃The club failed to land a few of their targets in the summer and the Newcastle’s starting XI didn’t really improve as a result.

However, Howe has been told that Newcastle are unlikely to spend in January🍰, even if he has identified two positions he’d like to improve.

On his part, Howe has been warned by Newcastleꦿ in regards to their minimum expectations this season, ones that the Magpies boss is currently falling short of.

But amid some of that difficult news, it’s redeeming that Sven Botman has returned for Newcastle, featuring in an under-21 game on Monday.
