Overview
- Agent Giuseppe Riso told Calcio e Finanza that joining a Premier League title contender such as Arsenal or Manchester City was the objective and called Tonali one of the most valuable Italian players.
- Riso suggested interest could intensify after the 2026 World Cup, saying a move to City or Arsenal is “very likely” if Tonali shines and that major business would start once the tournament ends.
- Newcastle chief executive David Hopkinson and manager Eddie Howe have publicly said the club has no intention of selling, insisting Tonali is under contract and happy on Tyneside.
- Reports vary on price as Newcastle are understood to value Tonali around £80m–£100m, with his deal running to at least 2028 and an option discussed to extend further.
- Speculation includes a TuttoJuve claim, relayed elsewhere, that Arsenal are readying a €100m offer, while Manchester United and Real Madrid are also linked and Juventus are described as unlikely to match such a fee.
