Sandro Tonali ‘broke down in tears’ when AC Milan told him they were selling him to Newcastle
- Tonali set to seal Newcastle move
- Magpies paying €70m fee (£60m/$76m)
- Midfielder wanted to stay
WHAT HAPPENED? A new report from La Repubblica claims that Tonali was keen to stay at Milan instead of moving to the Premier League club. The midfielder, they claim, was left in tears after being informed of the move, as he was keen to retire at the San Siro.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Despite Tonali’s wishes, Milan have accepted Newcastle’s bid and the former Italy Under-21 international now appears on the verge of becoming the club’s marquee addition of the summer.
