Arsenal Target Newcastle Midfielder Sandro Tonali in Summer Chase

Newcastle’s contract through 2028 gives the club leverage to demand a premium.

Overview

  • Sky Sports reports Tonali is on an Arsenal shortlist with Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton, with Manchester City and Manchester United also interested.
  • The same reporting says Arsenal would likely need to sell players before moving for the Italy international, and no formal offers have been reported.
  • CaughtOffside says Tonali’s agent is pushing a Premier League move and recently scouted Arsenal, while Newcastle are described as unwilling sellers.
  • Just Arsenal cites Metro in placing Newcastle’s price near £80 million, and Tonali’s deal to 2028 strengthens the club’s negotiating position.
  • Yahoo notes he has three goals and seven assists in 47 games this season, and Chris Waddle has questioned whether his role would overlap with Declan Rice’s.
