Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali is rumored to be eyeing a departure from the club at the conclusion of the season.
As per a report from Fichajes, Arsenal was interested in acquiring Tonali during the January transfer window, but a deal did not materialize. The Italian international is expected to attract interest from top-tier clubs over the summer, with Real Madrid closely observing his situation and potentially preparing a bid.
Asking Price for Sandro Tonali
Reports indicate that Tonali’s asking price is set at €90 million. It will be intriguing to see if Real Madrid opts to make a move, as they are in need of a solid defensive midfielder, and Tonali would be an excellent fit. His capabilities have been evident in the Premier League, and he is also likely to succeed in La Liga.
For Tonali, both Arsenal and Real Madrid present appealing opportunities. While he has already won the English League Cup with Newcastle, he aspires for greater achievements, and Newcastle currently lacks the necessary stature to contend for league titles or the UEFA Champions League. Either Arsenal or Real Madrid could provide the platform he seeks.
Tonali Considering a Transfer
The Times has also reported that Tonali is looking to change clubs come summer, as indicated by his agent. The 25-year-old is a crucial player for Newcastle, and losing him would be a significant setback for the team. However, the club may struggle to retain top talent if they cannot regularly compete for high-profile trophies. A move may be inevitable.
The €90 million price tag is substantial, but it could help Newcastle secure a worthy replacement.
