Romano: Tonali Rules Out Serie A Return, Clearing Path for Premier League Move
The stance makes Premier League clubs the realistic bidders.
Overview
- Fabrizio Romano said Thursday that Sandro Tonali wants to stay in England and views a summer return to Serie A as “absolutely impossible,” with Newcastle expected to demand around €90m to €110m.
- Manchester United are poised to accelerate an approach, while Manchester City are prioritising a move for Elliot Anderson, which reduces the chance they also bid for Tonali.
- Arsenal are tracking the situation and Juventus have interest, but the player’s preference for the Premier League and the high fee limit realistic Italian options.
- Newcastle could consider a high-value sale if they miss out on European places this season, a scenario multiple outlets say would push them to raise funds.
- Eddie Howe insists Tonali is fully committed to Newcastle, and the midfielder is under contract until 2029 with a club option for an extra year.
