Newcastle United want to block Serie A return for Sandro Tonali

Newcastle United are not interested in selling Sandro Tonali amid interest from top Serie A clubs, as Eddie Howe continues to count on him. 

According to TBR, Eddie Howe or Newcastle United have no intention of parting ways with Sandro Tonali ahead of future windows. The Magpies are eager to keep counting on the 24-year-old star ahead of the future despite concerns about his role in the squad. 

Sandro Tonali has not had a favourable start to his Newcastle United career since the beginning of last season. Having joined in a big move from AC Milan, he was soon slapped with a long ban from the game for betting charges, which only saw him return earlier in this current campaign. 

Many had expected Tonali to have a major role to play under Eddie Howe upon his return, but the Magpies boss has preferred other names in his midfield for most games. Tonali has largely come on as a substitute in most games, which has become a source of frustration for the 24-year-old star. 

Tonali is currently not an automatic starter for Howe, and there are rumours that the midfielder might want to explore other opportunities. Newcastle United are concerned with the future of some key stars including the 24-year-old star, as there’s ample interest coming from the Serie A. 

Juventus are eyeing a move for Tonali, while AC Milan and Inter Milan are also alert to his situation. There’s merit in thinking that Tonali will be a key player at either of those clubs, but Newcastle United hold all the cards, considering they still have a long-term contract with the midfielder. 

Newcastle United unlikely to sell Sandro Tonali

Howe still feels there’s a bright future for Aatonali at the club, and there’s every chance the midfielder breaks into the starting lineup sooner rather than later. For now, the situation may be different than those future projections, as Newcastle are not interested in selling the 24-year-old star amid Serie A interest. 

Moreover, Newcastle United are set to have a quiet January window amid PSR concerns, meaning it will be in Howe’s best interest to keep hold of his current squad. For now, there’s no chance the club sanctions a sale of the 24-year-old star, although a mammoth offer could potentially change their stance.
