Now, we have learned there is fresh interest in the Italy international ahead of the summer window, with LaLiga behemoths Real Madrid reportedly entering the picture alongside Premier League contenders Arsenal and Manchester City.
“Real Madrid have joined Arsenal in the race for Sandro Tonali,” The Sun reported . “Scouts from the LaLiga giants watched Toon’s 3–1 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City on Saturday night. ” According to the report, Madrid’s presence at SJP for the FA Cup tie meant more for the club than just taking a look at Pep’s gameplan.
“SunSport understands Madrid staff actually embarked on a double mission with the 25-year-old Italian midfielder also high on their agenda,” The Sun wrote. “And they are preparing to join City and Arsenal as Toon brace themselves for an expected £100m transfer tussle this summer over their midfield magician. ” Newcastle are determined to avoid a repeat of last summer’s Alexander Isak saga—mostly the fact that they waited until the last minute to finally give up and allow a sale that seemed inevitable and unstoppable from the minute the first rumor popped up—and are expected to demand around £100 million before considering any sale.
“Suggestions that Tonali has indicated he wants to stay next season are so far wide of the mark, though SunSport understands there has been no communication yet he wants to leave either,” the report added. “His wife Juliette gave birth to baby boy Leonardo in January and his family are happy in the North East and are not actively looking for an exit. ” Tonali addressed his long-term future earlier in the season, leaving the door open to future changes.
