Newcastle United fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief! Midfielder Sandro Tonali has emphatically declared his happiness in England and dismissed speculation about a potential return to Italy. The Italian international, who joined the Magpies in the summer, has quickly become a fan favourite and appears committed to the Newcastle project.

Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports ahead of Newcastle's upcoming match, Tonali addressed rumours swirling around his future. The Tuttomercatoweb report highlights his clear desire to remain on Tyneside, shutting down any talk of a swift return to Serie A.

“I’m really happy here,” Tonali stated. “The club, the fans, the city… it’s all fantastic. I’m enjoying my football and I’m focused on helping Newcastle achieve our goals. There’s a great atmosphere, a real unity, and I feel very settled.”

The midfielder's words come at a crucial time for Newcastle, who are looking to build on their impressive performances this season. Manager Eddie Howe has spoken repeatedly about his desire to keep a core group of players together, and Tonali’s commitment will be a significant boost to the team’s morale and stability.

While Tonali admitted to having “some thoughts” about his future, he was quick to emphasize that those were fleeting and that his current focus is solely on Newcastle. “Of course, you always think about things, it’s normal,” he explained. “But I’ve made my decision, and I’m happy with where I am.”

His arrival from AC Milan was seen as a shrewd piece of business by Newcastle, and his performances have largely justified that faith. Tonali’s midfield tenacity, passing ability, and work rate have made him an integral part of Howe’s system. His dedication to the team and his positive attitude have also endeared him to the Newcastle faithful.

The news will be particularly welcomed by Newcastle fans, who have grown to appreciate Tonali’s contributions on and off the pitch. His commitment to the club suggests a long-term future on Tyneside, which is a positive sign for Newcastle's ambitions under Howe. The focus now shifts to supporting Tonali and the rest of the squad as they continue their push for European qualification.

Tuttomercatoweb’s report concludes that Tonali is firmly focused on his Newcastle career and has no immediate plans to return to Italy, effectively quashing any lingering transfer speculation.
