A return to the Premier League could be on the cards.
“Newcastle United are looking for a midfielder to fill in for Sandro Tonali until he returns,” Turkiye outlet Potomac reported on Monday (Aug. 28). “Newcastle have added Fred (30, Fenerbahce) to their list of potential signings.”
Newcastle have been busy in the transfer market this summer, finishing fourth in the Premier League last season and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League (UCL) for the first time in 21 years. With a busy schedule ahead of them, reinforcements were inevitable.
This led to the signing of Sandro Tonali, who starred for AC Milan last season. The transfer fee was a whopping €70 million. The impact was immediate. Tonali immediately became the nucleus of Newcastle’s midfield. He made 11 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal.
But then an unexpected twist happened. Tonali was accused of illegal gambling. He pleaded guilty and was fined, suspended for 10 months, and required to complete an eight-month gambling addiction treatment program. Tonali will not be able to play until 2024.
Newcastle have been left scrambling to find a replacement. One name has been revealed as a possible replacement. Fred.
Fred is a midfielder who has been a fixture in the Magpies’ midfield for five years since 2018. However, his ups and downs have prevented him from becoming a fully-fledged starter. He moved to Fenerbahçe this summer in search of a new challenge. He made 13 appearances in all competitions this season, cementing his place in the team. Now, he’s suddenly being linked with Newcastle. If he were to return to the Premier League, it would be against his ‘home’ club. 토스카지노 주소
