Sandro Tonali set to lose £11 million of his wages following his 10-month ban from football

Tonali was issued a ban from football after breaking Italian betting rules during his playing days at AC Milan.

The Italian was banned from playing football for 10 months after being found guilty of getting involved in betting.

The Newcastle star will now lose £11 million of his salary following the 10-month ban placed on him.

The Newcastle midfielder's attorneys have agreed on his sentence for his covert football betting habit while he was a Brescia and Milan player.

After a week-long plea agreement in which Tonali acknowledged offences and having a gambling addiction, the prosecutor's office in Turin is scheduled to reveal the penalties decided upon with Tonali this Thursday.

According to reports from the Mirror, his salary will be halted which would provide Newcastle with the cash flow to sign a replacement in January. 

Due to Tonali's statement, his willingness to undergo therapy, and his attendance at meetings with Italian youth teams and local associations, his four-year suspension was lessened.

Tonali's punishment was half and reduced to 18 months for providing proof and his playing ban was imposed at 10 months plus an additional eight months of "alternative" sentences.

However, Tonali will be permitted to train with Newcastle during the period of the ban which will end in August 2024, right after the start of the Premier League season.
