Dalla Bona 'surprised' Tonali leaving AC Milan for Newcastle

Former AC Milan midfielder Sam Dalla Bona says Sandro Tonali will miss the Rossonero.

Tonali is leaving Milan for Newcastle United in an €80m deal.

Dalla Bona left Atalanta's academy for Chelsea as a teen. He told MilanNews: “I am very surprised at this move, because Sandro is a young player who was making his mark at Milan, not any old club.

“Considering how young he is, I thought he could become an icon at Milan. However, like Gigio Donnarumma, I think one day Sandro will miss Milan more than the club will miss him.

“Considering his characteristics, Tonali can do well in England. The Premier League certainly has a different tempo to Serie A, but I must say there is also significantly less pressure there than in Italy."
