The former teammate of Sandro Tonali who could be joining a major Premier League club

Sandro Tonali is one of the great promises of Italian soccer. The player arrived in Newcastle with a star sign and little by little he was achieving a place in the St James Park team. His good performances at AC Milan caused several European teams to focus on him. Nevertheless, The Magpies' new project interested the player and he decided to join Eddie Howe's team.

Currently, Newcastle United is performing well in the Premier League. Despite losing to BVB Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League, the English team is in fifth place in the English championship. Undoubtedly, one of the great advantages of the team is its forward line led by the Swedish figure Alexander Izak, former footballer of Real Sociedad of Spain.

The team also paid approximately $70 million for Sandro Tonali. Nevertheless, with all the controversy of illegal betting where the Italian was involved, FIFA gave him a 10-month ban. Given this, the team would be looking for his replacement at Manchester United. According to national and international media, Eddie Hove is looking to replace Tonali with McTominay.

Meanwhile, this decision seems not to be entirely exaggerated for Erik ten Hag. Despite the fact that McTominay has established himself in the Dutchman's starting lineup, just weeks ago, United were looking for ways out of the Scottish midfielder. However, a brace against Brentford put him back in the team's orbit. In turn, to replace McTominay, United would be looking for this former teammate of Sandro Tonali.

United wants this player

Reports from English media such as CentreDevils report that Manchester United wants to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan. The Portuguese has had good performances with the Italian team. For this reason, United are one of many teams interested in Tonali's former teammate and Cristiano Ronaldo's current teammate with Portugal. At the moment, nothing has been confirmed yet.
