Pellegatti ‘sure’ Newcastle star Tonali wants to return to Milan as captain: “Not next year”

Carlo Pellegatti, today, has stated that he is confident that Sandro Tonali will return to AC Milan in the next few years.

Tonali moving back to Milan is one of the biggest topics in Italian transfers right now. It seems inevitable that he will return to the Rossoneri one day, but everyone wants to know when. An agonising wait, but one that would, for many, be worth it.

When the midfielder left, it seemed like no one was happy. The midfielder has made it clear that he did not want to leave, and the reaction from the fanbase says enough in its own right.

Pellegatti’s confidence

With the news in recent weeks about a potential return, the Diavolo have been getting excited about the possibility of him coming back to the club. The lingering question, though, is when?

Whilst Pellegatti does not have an answer, he is very confident in the chances of it, as SportWitness relays.

“I’m quite sure, not next year or the next few years, Milan doesn’t have the money for Tonali’s transfer fee and salary. I’m sure, though, that he will return to Milan, he wants to return to Milan.

“I don’t know at what age, but he wants to end his career at Milan, maybe even as captain.
