Former Italy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini admits his heart is breaking over Sandro Tonali's imminent move to Newcastle United.

AC Milan fans, including Salvini, are up in arms today with Newcastle on the brink of signing the Rossonero midfielder.

The Toon are paying a fee rising to €85m for Tonali.

Current Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Salvini lamented: "I'm not talking about Tonali.

"My heart is crying, I can't handle the farewell of the (Paolo) Maldini, (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic and Tonali triplet."
