The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has banned Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali for violating betting rules, according to BBC Sport.
Tonali, who joined Newcastle from AC Milan in the summer of 2023, is said to have received a 10-month suspension.
Newcastle United has expressed interest in Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.
According to 90min, Newcastle are looking for a replacement for the Italy international midfielder.According to the source, Scott McTominay is one of the midfielders Newcastle is interested in signing in the January transfer window.
In the summer of 2023, Newcastle intended to capture McTominay from Premier League rivals Manchester United.
Scott McTominay will not join Newcastle United in January 2024, in my opinion.
Newcastle United, in my opinion, should not even attempt to sign Scott McTominay from Manchester United during the January transfer window.
I do not believe a transfer will take place.
First of all, Manchester United may not be willing to sell McTominay to Newcastle in the middle of the season even if the Magpies offer them £40 million.
After all, Newcastle and Manchester United are direct rivals for the Premier League top four.
So, why would the Red Devils sell the Magpies one of their players?
Secondly, as 90min has noted, McTominay himself does not fancy leaving Old Trafford in January.
The 26-year-old is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup, but manager Erik ten Hag is giving him chances.
The Manchester United no. 39 has made three starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League and has made one start and one substitute appearance in the UEFA Champions League so far this season.
