Recently, Italian football has been shaken because many players have been involved in suspicions of ‘illegal betting’. Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali, Aston Villa’s Nicolo Zaniolo and Juventus’ Nicolo Fagioli are the three players believed to be involved.
Tonali is expected to retire for the remainder of the season.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Tonali will be banned from competition for 10 months. Specifically, Romano wrote on Twitter: “Sandro Tonali will be banned from competition for 10 monthssources confirm the final indication, pending statement.”
“He will not be able to compete for 10 months due to the gambling addiction scandal. There will be many more months of participating in a gambling addiction plan, just like Nicoló Fagioli.”
If the penalty is announced, Tonali will part ways with the rest of the Premier League and miss Euro 2024 taking place in Germany next summer.
This is an extremely unfortunate thing when Tonali is playing extremely well for Newcastle. Even though he is a rookie, he is already a mainstay in Mr. Eddie Howe’s squad. To date, Tonali has scored 1 goal in the Premier League.
