Tonali’s San Siro return prompts calls to return to Milan | OneFootball

Sandro Tonali will step out onto the San Siro pitch once again when Italy host France in the Nations League on Sunday evening, which has prompted further calls for him to leave Newcastle United and return to Milan.

More calls for Tonali to return to Milan

This will be the second time that Tonali has played at his old ‘home’ since joining Newcastle. The first came in the Champions League when the Magpies visited Milan in the Champions League in an eventual 0-0 draw at the beginning of last season.

According to pre-match reports, he is expected to receive a warm welcome from the San Siro crowd when Italy take to the field against France.

The 24-year-old has never hidden his fondness for the Rossoneri, and the supporters tend to blame the club rather than the player himself over the decision to accept Newcastle’s bid last summer.

There have been calls at various points this season for Tonali to come back to Milan, however, reports from Corriere dello Sport explain that the reality of buying Tonali back from Newcastle would be an extremely complicated manoeuvre for financial reasons.

The Italy international is still under contract at St. James’s Park until the summer of 2028.
