Newcastle midfielder will not leave despite interest from former club

The latest Newcastle transfer news - Fabrizio Romano reveals that Sandro Tonali will stay at Newcastle despite interest from AC Milan.

Newcastle United could have a busy January transfer window. The Magpies are looking to improve their squad for a European push.

Eddie Howe’s team have made a mixed start to the 2024/25 Premier League campaign. Newcastle are currently 12th in the standings. They have won five matches, drawn five, and lost five.

Despite the challenges, the top four places are only seven points away. Europa League qualification is also within reach, with Brighton just four points ahead.

The summer transfer window was quiet for Newcastle. They did not make major signings but managed to keep all their star players. January could offer a chance to strengthen the team further.

Newcastle transfer news - Sandro Tonali to stay despite AC Milan interest

Reports from Italy suggest that AC Milan are interested in re-signing Sandro Tonali. Newcastle signed Tonali from AC Milan last summer for £55 million.

Tonali’s time in England has been difficult so far. The 24-year-old missed most of last season due to a 10-month ban for gambling rule violations. During this time, he received support for his gambling addiction.

An Italian journalist recently claimed that Tonali might return to AC Milan in the future. This sparked rumours of a potential move back to the San Siro.
