Italian football was stunned when Sandro Tonali decided to leave them in the summer of 2023.
Everything but unheard of for the Serie A to lose one of their best home -grown talents at such a young age to an overseas competition.
Since that happened in the summer of 2023, the Italian media are ashamed the story after the story and claims that Sandro Tonali is going to make a threatening return to domestic Italian football.
Journalist in Italy simply knows that this is what football fans want to hear, so they feed them these stories despite absolutely no substance.
Last season was mostly bizarre, because the better and better Sandro Tonali played for Newcastle United and Italy, the greater the return to Serie A stories, both in quantity and intensity.
The craziness was perfectly summarized when it was claimed in the January transfer star that Newcastle United would be willing to let Sandro Tonali go on loan to a Serie A club and possibly subsidize its wages. That makes perfect sense, Eddie Howe with a small team and hopes to win a cup and to be eligible for the Champions League to not only let one of its best players leave the middle of the season, but also on loan, no mass transmission costs for a replacement of Sandro Tonali.
What of course also raises the question if you had a lot of money, where would you even find a replacement for our brilliant midfielder?
Interesting to read things in the Italian media now.
I think they have finally been accepted that the inventing of stories claiming that Sandro Tonali is ‘coming home’, they only seem ridiculous, considering how brilliant and essential he is for Newcastle United.
Sandro Tonali has just gotten better and play better under Eddie Howe and confronted with the intensity of Premier League Football week after week.
This summarizes how the Italian media now see the NUFC and Italy star (although the English media behind them are left behind …),, Football Italia Reporting on Sandro Tonali, after the 5-0 victory of Italy over Estonia:
‘An all -round performance for the Newcastle midfielder who made five important passes, had a goodness of 91% and won five ground matches of six.
A year after his return to action, the former Milan star now stamps his authority as the best midfielder in the country.
Against Estonia, where he stood next to Inter’s Nicolò Barella, Tonali looked the sharper of the two.
Barella supplied a solid display, but could not catch the quality, endurance and resilience of the Newcastle man.
Tonali can play as a regista (ED: Apparently a ‘regista’ is an Italian term for an in-depth playmaker who works for the defense, dictates the game by controlling the pace and connecting the defense with an attack by creative and intelligent passing) or a box-to-box-boxing filter is currently in the Azzurri. ‘
