Overview
- Tonali said his relationship with Eddie Howe is "not broken" after celebrating a two-goal display at Aston Villa with a touchline embrace that helped Newcastle reach the FA Cup fifth round.
- He acknowledged a dip in form this season and said the performance can serve as a reset for him and a lift for the team.
- Agent Giuseppe Riso said he has had no conversations with Arsenal, indicated a valuation check is planned around March, and noted Champions League qualification could influence summer decisions.
- Both Arsenal and Newcastle denied reports that an intermediary offered Tonali to the Gunners, while fresh coverage links Manchester United with potential summer interest.
- Tonali is contracted to Newcastle until 2030, and the club’s league position leaves their European prospects — a factor in his future — still uncertain.
