Newcastle’s midfielder Sandro Tonali is about to face a lengthy suspension from the sport, and the team has reportedly threatened AC Milan with a multi-million dollar lawsuit.
Tonali will miss the rest of the season due to a 10-month suspension for illegal football betting, according to a report from Mail Sport on Wednesday morning. Despite this, he will be available for tonight’s Champions League encounter against Borussia Dortmund.
This is less than four months after he paid £52 million to join the Premier League team from Milan.
According to Corriere dello Sport, they are furious with the Italian powerhouses for selling them a player who would now likely be sidelined for the majority of the season and are seriously considering suing Milan.
Tonali’s representative has asserted that the 23-year-old is a gambling addict, despite Tonali’s admission of betting on his own teams to win games.
Eight months of therapy and involvement in anti-gambling activities are part of Tonali’s suspension.
Newcastle is reportedly planning to suspend Tonali’s €8 million (£7 million) annual wage, according to Corriere dello Sport. However, the club has not confirmed this to Mail Sport.
With their £52 million summer acquisition from the Italian powerhouses Sandro Tonali expected to miss the remainder of the season due to illicit football betting, Newcastle ‘threatens AC Milan with multi-million pound lawsuit.’
Sandro Tonali’s 10-month suspension from football is due to his unlawful betting activities.
After Newcastle signed Tonali from Milan in July, the two parties might sue one other.
