Goal: Tonali meets agent in Milan – Newcastle United star wanted by Italian clubs

Sandro Tonali has travelled back to Italy for the International break. However, the former AC Milan midfielder has also had a meeting with his agent. 

There have been several suggestions about Tonali’s future since he has left Milan. Most have hoped that he would return to the Rossoneri in the future, perhaps even to captain the side which he supports and has done since childhood.

The question has even been asked a few times at press conferences, with Eddie Howe even replying to one, previously. Yet, the idea has never died down, especially with Juventus stepping up their pursuit of the midfielder.

Tonali meets Riso

So, the report from Goal at the start of the international break is particularly interesting. As Calciomercato.com relays, the son of the Diavolo met with Beppe Riso, who has excellent relations with the club, in Milano on Monday after landing in Italy.

It must be remembered that he is in the country for the international break, not for talks. However, the idea of a return to Italy ‘could be reopened’ and he ‘wouldn’t say no to a return to Italy’, with the Bianconeri currently pushing hardest.

With that said, all of Italy’s top clubs are watching his situation, and whilst it would take a big offer to convince Newcastle, it does not seem he is unsellable. Rather, his value would have to be met and not compromised.
