**Antonio Vitiello has returned to talk about Sandro Tonali, who has been linked with a return to AC Milan ever since leaving for Newcastle. However, it will take some time for that to happen.**
Milan decided to sell Tonali to Newcastle in 2023, registering a significant capital gain that was then reinvested in other players. However, despite the midfielder receiving a long ban for betting a few months later, many agree that the Rossoneri never should have sold him.
For Newcastle, as well as Italy’s national team, Tonali has been a key player and there’s no doubt that he’s among the best midfielders around. Subsequently, it’s only right that Milan fans are dreaming about a return, especially given the player’s bond with the club.
Not any time soon

In his [latest YouTube video](https://youtu.be/2uA6AVIoKMQ?si=E7-G_TeijYTZAwZP), the MilanNews founder Antonio Vitiello shared his thoughts on Tonali, seeing as a return [**is still being talked about**](https://sempremilan.com/sky-newcastle-tonali-milan-captaincy-dream). According to him, a return definitely isn’t possible this summer, both due to the transfer fee and the high salary.
Instead, it’s expected that Tonali will make at least one more transfer before coming back to Milan and Italy, most likely to another big English club. Manchester United have held talks about the matter, as the journalist continues, so the Rossoneri fans will have to wait.
That said, he made it very clear that a return ‘will happen’ in the future, just that it won’t be the next step for Tonali.
