Ahead of Italyโs crucial match against Estonia on Matchday five of World Cup Qualifying, Sandro Tonali caught up with Vivo Azzurro.
The former AC Milan player spoke about current Italian affairs, but also discussed a possible return to Serie A: โYou can never know what will happen, I tell everyone itโs possible. Iโm not closing the door on Italy; itโs my country.โ
He also stated belief that Serie Aโs level is rising and is higher than it was earlier.
He said, via Di Marzio: โMaybe not now because Iโve found my balance at Newcastle, but the league is getting better and better, the level of the teams is rising.โ
This came after Tonali was spotted in Milan with his agent Beppe Riso. This was seen as a meeting to discuss the midfielderโs future at Newcastle United.
Reports also spoke of Juventusโ interest in Tonali, stating that while they tried to sign the player in the summer, a future attempt cannot be ruled out.
The Italian clearly is keen on a future return to Serie A and doesnโt hide his admiration for Calcio.
Ahead of his countryโs clash with Estonia, the Brescia native also addressed Gennaro Gattusoโs patriotic approach to the national team.
โHe instils a lot of attachment to the shirt in us. The intensity of training is high, the desire to train is immense. In the past, weโd get lost in a glass of water; if we conceded the first goal, weโd cause problems for ourselves. Now weโve rediscovered our courage.โ
Regarding praise from Paul Scholes, who called Tonali the best midfielder in the Premier League, the former Rossoneri man said:
โEvery time you get compliments from strong former players, itโs nice and youโre surprised, itโs always a nice feeling.โ
