Corriere della Sera: Juventus continues to pay attention to Tonali, and he revealed to friends that he wants to return to Milan in the future

Hupu November 07: According to a report from Milan reporter Monica Colombo of Corriere della Sera, Juventus continues to pay attention to Newcastle midfielder Tonali, and he still misses his old club Milan deep in his heart.

This report wrote that Tonali joined Newcastle from Milan in the summer of 2023. At that time, he was very surprised by such a change. He was even willing to take a salary cut in order to stay in Milan. In an interview the day before yesterday, when Tonali was asked if he could imagine himself playing for Newcastle for a long time, he also replied:

"This is a difficult question to answer, because in the football world "You have to think about the future year by year. I don't want to say that I will stay here for ten years, and I may leave in two or three years. I just want to focus on myself now."

This statement was so sincere that it also made English fans quite dissatisfied. The reason is simple. At the most difficult moment of his career, Newcastle still provided him with a contract extension until 2029.

Tonali later explained: "The contract extension actually happened during my suspension. I don't understand why everyone was talking last week, as if it was signed recently. The club has already talked to me and my agent in 2023. I signed because I believe in this team, and the club believes in me, so we decided to continue working together."

After clarifying the contract issue, Tonali also used his former teammate Isaac as an example.

"The summer was difficult for us, and also for Alex, but this is football. If there is another choice in life and another team is looking for you, then you have to think about everything, which is why I don't want to say 'I will stay here for another ten years', although I am very happy now."

In any case, these remarks have triggered speculation from the outside world, especially since Tonali has been rumored with Italian clubs in the past two years.

There are less than two months until the winter transfer window opens, but for a player of Tonali's level, the possibility of him transferring midway through the season is extremely low. As early as last summer, Newcastle had priced Tonali at 100 million euros, and the team is now ranked 13th in the Premier League.

Juventus’ former director Giantoli once targeted Tonali as the number one signing target, but the club was unable to complete the deal at the time. Now Juventus’ new management (Comolli + Modesto) is still paying attention to the Italian midfielder.

However, Tonali once confessed to a friend: He hopes to return to AC Milan one day.

The reality is that Tonali will become one of the protagonists in the transfer market next summer. Will only the Premier League giants be able to afford such an investment?
