Sandro Tonali's move to Newcastle United is creeping closer with the Italian expected on Tyneside in the coming days. The AC Milan midfielder, 23, has penned a five-year deal with the Magpies and the final formalities are currently being worked out.
Tonali could be in the north east of England as early as Wednesday as Newcastle finalise their first deal of the summer. The player's move has been accelerated after Italy Under-21s suffered a shock group stage exit at the European Championships.
“It was not easy at the start to explain the project, but he is intelligent and understood straight away," Tonali's agent, Beppe Riso, explained on Friday. “We found the best solution for everyone, for Milan and for Sandro, as he is going to have an experience in the NBA of football."
