Overview
- Transfer reporters on Monday said Manchester United have spoken to Sandro Tonali’s camp and that the midfielder is open to the move, with Manchester City and Arsenal kept informed but no formal bids lodged.
- Newcastle point to a long deal running to at least 2029 and a near-£100m price, and local reporting says the club remains relaxed about his future.
- Multiple outlets note Serie A sides are unlikely bidders because wages and the fee would be out of reach, limiting realistic suitors to Premier League clubs.
- TEAMtalk, relayed by CaughtOffside, reports Man City could try to lower the fee with a swap offer that might include young players, which remains unconfirmed at this stage.
- Several reports add that a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ could ease an exit if Newcastle miss European qualification, a scenario that would raise Premier League interest after Tonali’s recent goal-and-assist display for Italy.
