The Sandro Tonali saga continues to rumble on and a report has claimed that Newcastle United have threatened to sue AC Milan.
According to what is being reported by Corriere dello Sport (via Calciomercato.com), Newcastle yesterday threatened Milan with a multimillion-euro lawsuit over the Tonali case, clearly believing that they knew something about it.
Tonali is believed to have been handed a 10-month suspension for having broken regulations regarding betting on Milan games as a player. The Rossoneri, for their part, have always denied any knowledge he was going so.
Nonetheless, the paper claim that Newcastle are threatening legal action against Milan having paid €70m to sign the midfielder during the summer, a player they will now not be able to use again until well into 2024.
Not only that, but the Magpies are going to suspend payment of Tonali’s €8m net per season salary, unlike Juve who supported Nicolo Fagioli after his ban by continuing to pay his salary in full and allowing him to keep training with the first team.
