Sandro Tonali’s desire to return to Italy is nothing new

We’ve reported some exclusive information of our own on Tonali in recent months, and it is true that he really wants to go back to Italy at some point.

Some sources even indicated it was his preference to do so this summer, but this was always likely to be impossible due to the transfer fee and wages involved.

At one point we had it confirmed to us that Tonali would cost £100m, which ended up putting Manchester United off pursuing the deal any further, even though they at one point looked like a serious option for him.

It will be interesting to see now how long Tonali stays with Tottenham and if a Serie A club ends up being his next destination.
