Newcastle midfielder Tonali expressed caution about the future. Although Newcastle fans may not want to hear such an answer, Tonali gave an honest answer.
The Newcastle playmaker did not make any clear commitments about his long-term future when interviewed after Eddie Howe's side won a crucial Champions League game. He even mentioned the "tough times" Isak went through this summer and admitted he was "thinking about it year by year" after secretly extending his contract until 2029.

Tonali: "It's a difficult question because you know, in football you have to think year by year. I don't want to say I want to be here for ten years and then leave in two, three, four or five years. I want to just think for myself, year by year, that's football. Last summer was difficult for us, and it was the same for Isak. , but that's football. If you have a choice, for your life or for other teams, you need to consider everything."
"I don't want to say 'yes, I want to stay here for ten years', but now I am not thinking about other teams."

Tonali: "I'm very happy with this contract. This contract extension was signed three years ago after I was suspended, and I don't know why everyone was talking about it last week. When I was suspended and couldn't play, I signed a one-year contract because I made a mistake, it was my problem, and it was difficult for me to get money from this team."
"The club talked to me, also talked to my agent, and we signed a "But it's not about the money, it's not about the extra year. It's about the belief in this team and the belief in me that we work together. "But for me, it's the same every day here. I work hard for everyone at Newcastle and I really work for everyone here."Mini-game recommendations:Scientist girl escape
