But only 5 years of it will count in terms of the period you can amortise the purchase price over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts he didn't want to leave but Milan told him they needed the money as it was an offer they couldn't turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit small time. £60.2m / €70m spend breaking their transfer records, not winning anything.

sne Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Them getting into the CL is momentous. They can target a whole different echelon of players and means that they can salt their fake sponsor deals. It's a game changer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Tonali confirmed. I don't really understand why no one else is in for him if he was available, at any price. Is he on massive wages? They're paying the same as Utd are for Mount. They're paying almost half what Arsenal are for Rice. He's comfortably better than both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 he's also not really a known entity in the PL is he, as much as i think the english players are overhyped they're also safer bets, utd know exactly what they'll get with mount, man city know what they'll get with kovacic, liverpool with macallister etc etc if in 3/4 years time tonali is a world beater watch city pop up with a £100m bid will be interesting to see if newcastle have the spending power and success to tell them to **** off or if they're just the same as the rest of us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
