Sandro Tonali: Man United eye raid as Newcastle star opens door to exit

The Magpies forked out £55 million for the Italy international, however, and have placed a valuation as high as £100 million to fend off interested clubs. This list of suitors includes Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and United, as well as Serie A giant Juventus.

Blockbuster Offer in the Works

Italian outlet Tutto Juve confirms Tonali is a “top target” for United, with the Mancunian side “ready to make a massive offer to convince the Magpies to let him go.” A previous report relayed by The Peoples Person explained United had communicated their intent to table a big-money proposal to the player.

Now, it appears, club-to-club talks are being planned as the Red Devils look to stay ahead of their rivals in a red-hot race. It is understood that a “full-scale transfer push” is being prepared.

The report concludes that United consider Tonali the “perfect candidate” in midfield and are said to be willing to “invest significant sums” to lure him to Manchester. TEAMtalk reveals the 26-year-old is “pushing for a move away from St James’ Park” and that this may force Newcastle United to “cave in”.

Final Thoughts

A deal would still be extremely difficult to pull off given Newcastle United’s valuation and the intense competition for Tonali’s signature from other members of England’s ‘top six’.

But if the Italian is agitating for a move, United may sense a rare opportunity to land a Premier League-proven midfielder entering his prime – the exact profile INEOS are intent on adding to their ranks this summer.
