On the table are the methods and contents of the agreement which would lead to the reduction of the disqualification by up to half. And with the Champions League looming, there is a rush
In the next week Sandro Tonali will know, if not everything, then much of what awaits him after the self-denunciation for the banned betting affair handed over to the prosecutor Giuseppe Chinè during the interrogation last Sunday. Tomorrow the lawyers of the former Milan midfielder, now at Newcastle, are expected in Rome to discuss the methods and contents of the pre-referral plea agreement, the one which automatically leads to the reduction of the disqualification by up to half.

For the white smoke, in addition to the agreement between the parties, the green light from the Attorney General for Sport at CONI and the federal president will be needed. Steps which in any case should not prevent the application of a punitive sentence which however opens up the possibility of recovery of the footballer who is a victim of gambling addiction, as was the case for Fagioli. It is understood that there is a certain rush. We want to avoid an extension of time that could cause embarrassment, given Wednesday’s Champions League match between Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund. Italian football law provides for a “possible request for extension within UEFA and FIFA”, so that the disqualification is valid everywhere. The practice has effectively canceled the “possible” making the extension not automatic, but expected for all official matches, beyond the championship in which the sanctioned player plays.
