Tottenham's new signing, Sandro Tonali, has already sparked speculation about his future at the club before he's even completed his move. The Italy international, who is on the verge of joining Spurs for a big-money transfer, has expressed his desire to return to AC Milan in the future.
Tonali previously played for Milan before joining Newcastle United, and his recent comments have raised questions about how long he plans to stay in north London. Despite being close to completing his medical and signing with Tottenham, the 26-year-old has already made it clear that he'd love a second spell at the San Siro.
According to recent quotes from Tonali, he's always joked about returning to Milan, but now he's seriously considering it. "There are always rumors about it... we always joke about it," Tonali said. "But if one day there's a chance [to return to AC Milan], we'll seriously talk about that."
Tonali's desire to return to Italy is nothing new, and some sources have indicated that it was his preference to do so this summer. However, the transfer fee and wages involved made it impossible at the time. A big transfer fee was mentioned at one point, which ended up being a deterrent for other clubs, including Manchester United.
Now that Tonali is on the verge of joining Tottenham, it will be interesting to see how long he stays with the club. Will he make a swift departure to Serie A, or will he give his new team a chance to prove themselves? Only time will tell.
