A statement from Sandro Tonali’s representatives confirms that he referred himself to the FA over betting charges. The Newcastle United midfielder is facing a new investigation into breaches of the FA’s betting rules, having already been found guilty of breaches while playing in Italy with Milan.
A statement from the player’s representatives, GR Sports, confirmed that the player reported himself to the FA regarding the breach:
“It should be noted, in relation to the reports in the English and Italian press, that the ongoing investigation is a due act after Newcastle player Sandro Tonali, decided in October 2023 to self-report to the FA, as he had previously done with the FIGC, in order to clarify his position regarding the betting he had carried out at a time prior to the start of the proceedings in Italy”.
“We are therefore not talking about anything new but simply about recurring facts before the Italian disqualification, which the player voluntarily wanted to bring to light even to the English Federation to put a definitive end to a negative and very painful parenthesis of his life”.
“Sandro Tonali will continue to fully cooperate with the FA as he did with the FIGC and do everything possible to ensure that these proceedings can be resolved as quickly as possible”.
