Italy and Newcastle midfielder Tonali released an interview with Sky Sports UK following weeks of speculation of a possible move away from St. James’ Park in the summer.
Tonali’s latest interview
“I don’t look at social media, I don’t like it. After my ban, I changed everything with social media, I just go to training and then go home and be with my family. My life is much better now,” said the ex-Milan star.
“In football, if you play well, you have to deal with the transfer rumours, but if you concentrate 100% on your game, and you’re happy, you don’t have to think about anything or speak about anything.”
Tonali’s contract with Newcastle expires in June 2028 and several clubs have been linked with securing his services in the summer, including Juventus, Arsenal and Manchester United.
Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto reported in March that Newcastle would demand circa €90m for Tonali in the summer, which, if confirmed, would force Juventus to look elsewhere for midfield reinforcement.
The Italian midfielder has scored three goals and provided seven assists in 48 appearances across all competitions with Newcastle this season.
A 2021-22 Serie A title winner with Milan, Tonali has played 130 games in Italy’s top-flight, scoring eight goals and providing 17 assists.
