🚨 Forget Serie A, Tonali tied down by Newcastle with a massive contract! | OneFootball

The return of Sandro Tonali to Italy, one of our best footballers, is far, far away. The Newcastle midfielder, a key player for Gattuso's National team, has renewed his contract until 2029 with an option for 2030 with Newcastle.

Tonali, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, made this choice also as an absolute recognition for the Magpies who, during the tough period of suspension due to the betting case, never failed to support him. 

❌ FORGET SERIE A: TONALI A PILLAR IN THE PREMIER

Sandro Tonali, therefore, is very far from returning to Serie A, and this renewal operation, confirmed by Sky Sports UK and the BBC, is yet another demonstration that even an Italian player of international stature no longer reaches the top clubs in his prime. 

Sandro Tonali, moreover, had spoken about the possible return to the top league during the last training camp with Italy. 

"Return to Serie A? It's hard to answer, you never know what you will want to do and what will happen. However, I always tell everyone yes, in the end, an Italian always has the chance, even a 1%, to return to play in Serie A.

Maybe not now, I am in a moment where I have found my path and everything is going well. But I never close the door to returning to Serie A because it is my nation and my league, which is becoming more and more beautiful."

A shrewd move by Newcastle, with Tonali's long-term renewal, also fends off the assault of the big European clubs who, to snatch the former Brescia midfielder, will have to comply with the Magpies' terms.
