Sandro Tonali, the 24-year-old Italian midfielder, is not contemplating a return to Serie A, according to his agent Giuseppe Riso. Riso stated that Tonali is content at Newcastle United, where he enjoys playing in what he considers the best league globally. The midfielder has become a fan favourite among Newcastle supporters, who have consistently backed him.
Tonali’s Current Situation
Tonali, who joined Newcastle United from AC Milan, has been a key figure in the team’s midfield. Known for his versatility and tactical intelligence, he has adapted well to the Premier League’s demands. Despite previous challenges, including a betting charge by the FA earlier this year, Tonali has remained committed to his role at Newcastle.
Recent Developments
In recent months, Tonali has been in the spotlight for various reasons. In May, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe confirmed that Tonali’s ban would not be extended, following a sanction by the FA. Additionally, Tonali accepted a pay cut during this period, demonstrating his dedication to the club. His performances have also earned praise from Italy’s national team coach, Luciano Spalletti, after a notable victory in September.
Agent’s Statement
Giuseppe Riso’s comments come amidst speculation about Tonali’s future. Riso emphasised that Tonali is “happy at Newcastle” and has no plans to leave the club. This statement aims to quell any rumours of a potential move back to Italy, reinforcing Tonali’s commitment to his current team and the Premier League.
