AC Milan have come out to publicly deny having prior knowledge of Sandro Tonali’s gambling addiction before selling him to Newcastle. The club recently had its say via a press statement, and fans have been reacting.
According to AC Milan, they first learnt about Tonali’s addiction through media reports, so rumors saying they deliberately sold him for that reason are false.

It read, “We first learnt about Tonali’s addiction through media reports and what we know is only what we read. We don’t know anything else.”
WOW.
Sandro Tonali is an Italian professional footballer who plays mainly as a defensive-midfielder or central-midfielder for Premier League club Newcastle United and the Italy national team. He is currently banned from all competitive footballing activities until 27 August 2024 for gambling offences.
He began his professional career at Brescia, winning Serie B in 2018–19. A year later he moved to Milan, initially on loan. He played 130 total games for Milan, and won Serie A in 2021–22. In 2023 he signed for Newcastle for a reported fee of €70 million, making him the most expensive Italian footballer of all time.
On 9 September 2020, Tonali joined AC Milan, on a season-long loan for €10 million with an option to buy for €15 million, plus bonuses worth €10 million. The player will earn a yearly wage of €2 million for five years. Three days later, he made his non-competitive debut in a friendly at Milanello against his previous club.
