Premier League Shocked: Club removes player following serious allegations

The Italian midfielder was brought to Tyneside with great fanfare last summer in a deal worth up to £70 million, seen as a statement of intent from the Magpies as they aimed to establish themselves among the Premier League elite. However, a ten-month ban for his involvement in a betting scandal disrupted his start in England.

Since returning to action in September, Tonali has struggled to make a significant impact at St. James' Park. The 24-year-old has found himself on the bench more often than not, starting just two of Newcastle's last six matches.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Tonali is now considering his future and has expressed a desire to leave Newcastle. Bayern Munich have emerged as a possible destination, but two factors could complicate a move. Firstly, Tonali is reportedly keen on a return to Serie A, and secondly, Bayern may be reluctant to invest heavily in a position they already consider to be well-stocked.

A change of scenery

The Italian's struggles at Newcastle have coincided with the club's inconsistent form. Despite their ambitious spending in recent transfer windows, the Magpies have failed to challenge for the top four and are currently mid-table in the Premier League.

Tonali's lack of playing time has raised questions about his future at the club. With the January transfer window approaching, it is likely that there will be significant interest in the Italian midfielder from other clubs.

Bayern Munich's interest

Bayern Munich have been linked with a move for Tonali in recent weeks. The German champions are always on the lookout for talented young players and see Tonali as a potential long-term replacement for Joshua Kimmich.

However, Bayern may face competition from other clubs for Tonali's signature. Several Serie A clubs are also believed to be interested in the midfielder, and a return to Italy would appeal to Tonali both personally and professionally.

What next for Tonali?

The next few months will be crucial for Sandro Tonali's career. The Italian midfielder has a big decision to make about his future. If he decides to leave Newcastle, he will have no shortage of suitors. However, he will need to carefully consider his options and choose a club that can offer him the opportunity to play regular first-team football.
