The midfielder wanted to stay at AC Milan, but the club announced that he needed money

Sandro Tonali is close to seeing his transfer to Newcastle sealed, in a move that will earn him a salary four times higher than what he earns at Milan, but the truth is that the transfer does not completely satisfy the player. At least that’s what La Repubblica reports Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported on Friday that the 23-year-old midfielder burst into tears when he learned that Transalpine club had decided to accept the Magpies’ offer.

On the table will be 80 million euros, an amount that the Rossoneri finds impossible to refuse, especially given the club’s current financial situation. Therefore, according to what was reported in the Italian press, Milan ended up ‘ignoring’ the will of the player himself, who had made it clear several times in recent weeks that he intended to stay in Italy – because he was at the club. From the bottom of his heart – and gave the go-ahead for the midfielder’s move to the Premier League.

According to the player’s manager, Tonali’s contract will be valid for six seasons.
