Newcastle United are hopeful that Sandro Tonali will agree the bumper wage deal they have offered him to leave his boyhood team AC Milan.
As reported yesterday on Chronicle Live, talks cranked up throughout Wednesday as Newcastle officials held high level talks with their Milan counterparts. The two clubs were looking to agree a final transfer fee for Tonali after the initial suggestion of £50million was knocked back earlier this week.
Tonali's agent Giuseppe Riso has been at the centre of the talks with Milan and Newcastle with his client about to see his wages increase by more than double his £75,000 per week wages. Tonali has not be present for any face to face talks due to his involvement with Italy Under-21s at the European Championships in Georgia and Romania.
