Italian legend Andrea Pirlo may have given Newcastle United the perfect alternative to James Maddison, should the Magpies decide to move on from the England international.
Newcastle United wish to bolster their midfield options this summer, with their pursuit of James Maddison well-known. But with Leicester City demanding a high fee, and with Tottenham also interested, Newcastle may be forced to look at alternative options to strengthen their midfield.
AC Milan and Italy international midfielder Sandro Tonali is one name who has been mentioned as a potential alternative, and he certainly has the backing of Italian midfield legend Pirlo. The midfield maestro previously backed Tonali to thrive in any top team, with the high praise sure to warrant the attention of Newcastle's chiefs.
