Newcastle United are on the verge of signing Sandro Tonali from Milan, and in similar fashion, his national teammate Barella could join him in England.
Milan are about to receive a huge cash infusion through the sale of Sandro Tonali and are set to spread the wealth around on multiple signings. The Rossoneri, which already needed reinforcements in the midfield, have a few targets on their radar. They barged into the fray for Davide Frattesi.
Sandro Tonali is on the brink of leaving Milan to join Newcastle. The two clubs are nearing an agreement on the giant fee, while the midfielder has accepted the destination, and he’ll get a massive pay hike. The Italian side requested a larger bid, but there’s plenty of momentum.
After going for Nicolò Barella, Newcastle are attempting to sign a different top Italian midfielder, Sandro Tonali. The Magpies wish to acquire an elite contributor. They are ready to tender €50M for the Rossoneri’s fan favorite. Chelsea could swoop in as well if the 23-year-old was indeed available for the right price.
Roberto Mancini has called up 26 players for a brief retreat in Sardinia ahead of the Final Four of the Nations League. The Azzurri will face Spain in Enschede on June 15th in the semifinal. The Netherlands and Croatia complete the bracket. The competition includes a third-place playoff.
In one of their best displays of the season, Serie A top-four hopefuls Milan dismantled relegation-bound Sampdoria 5-1 on Saturday. A one-sided affair at the San Siro saw Stefano Pioli's men run riot in the wake of a heartbreaking Champions League result on Tuesday.
Sandro Tonali previewed the anticipated first leg of the EuroDerby and underlined its significance in an interview: “I think that reaching the semifinals is the summary of what we have achieved with the coach in the past three years. The fans gave us incredible strength throughout this journey."
Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali wishes to redeem his team’s season in the remaining competitions, following the Rossoneri’s premature exit from the Coppa Italia.
Milan have now won in all six Serie A games in which Tonali has scored at least a goal. Resumption of the campaign with a win means the reigning champions still have what it takes to defend their crown.
Reigning Serie A champions Milan squeezed past Salernitana 2-1 on Wednesday afternoon despite having numerous chances to take three points more comfortably. The Rossoneri have at least temporarily reduced the gap on pacesetters Napoli to five points.
Sandro Tonali believes Milan can catch up with Napoli in the standings: “Why wouldn’t we believe we can do it? The second half will have more matches, and this squad is truly strong. Our goal is to win every match, and we have the means to do it."
Busquets has reportedly already communicated his intention to leave to the Barcelona management. Coach Xavi Hernandez on the other hand, is eager to keep hold of his ex-teammate.
