Any potential move for Sandro Tonali to Manchester City has recently stalled, as negotiations unexpectedly came to a halt due to a change in the player's priorities regarding his future.

According to reports, Tonali now prefers to return to the Italian league, with AC Milan in a strong position to re-sign him during the upcoming transfer window, especially given the club's interest in bringing back one of its former star players.

On the other hand, the hopes of English Premier League clubs have gradually diminished, as the player's desire to leave England and return to Italy has increased, making his move to City or any other English club more difficult at present.

This season, the player participated in 49 matches across all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 7 assists.
