Sandro Tonali has returned to Italy during the international break, reigniting speculation about his future. According to Goal Italia, the Newcastle midfielder met his agent Giuseppe Riso in Milan to discuss upcoming plans and possible next steps in his career.

After a strong start to the season in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Tonali is now focused on representing Italy under Gennaro Gattuso.

His return home, however, also provided the perfect opportunity to reflect on his path. And perhaps, consider a return to Serie A. The meeting with Riso took place in the heart of Milan.

While it was described as a simple check-in, it has inevitably sparked fresh rumors linking Tonali to Juventus. The Italian giants have admired the midfielder for some time and are said to be closely monitoring his situation in England.

Juventus’ interest on Sandro Tonali remains strong

Tonali’s potential comeback to Italy has never been ruled out. Juventus, in particular, continue to see him as an ideal addition to their midfield. Even before recent management changes in Turin, the Bianconeri viewed him as a long-term target.

Last summer, a move wasn’t realistic. However, circumstances could change soon. Juventus are ready to keep the conversation alive should an opening emerge in the near future. Bringing Tonali back to Serie A would not only strengthen their squad but also add valuable Italian talent to their ranks.

The former Brescia and AC Milan player still feels a strong bond with Italy. Despite adapting well to English football, he would not dismiss the idea of returning to his home country to play a leading role once again.

Tonali joined Newcastle United in the summer of 2023 in a record-breaking deal. The Magpies paid €59 million plus €6 million in bonuses, along with a 10% clause on any future sale.

He signed a lucrative contract until 2028, earning €7 million net per season, with an additional €2 million in performance bonuses.

Since moving to England, Tonali has made 66 appearances across all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing five assists. His impact on the team was immediate, becoming a central figure in Eddie Howe’s lineup.

Still, with Juventus watching closely, the story of Sandro Tonali’s career might yet have another Italian chapter waiting to be written.
