Juventus view Sandro Tonali as a ‘dream target’ ahead of next summer, as they could formulate an offer to test Newcastle United.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via Sport Witness, Sandro Tonali has emerged as a big target for Juventus ahead of next summer. The Bianconeri are reportedly formulating a way to land the 24-year-old Newcastle United mainstay, although the midfielder’s huge asking price could end the pursuit.
Sandro Tonali has had a difficult start to life in England since his move from AC Milan in the summer of 2023. Following a bright start at St James Park, the midfielder was handed a long ban from footballing activities owing to his involvement in a betting scandal, which saw him miss most of last season.
He has since returned to action this season and is currently one of the main stars in the Newcastle United midfield. Eddie Howe has restored the 24-year-old’s confidence, as the Italian international is playing at his best for the club, which is taking him into territory when the club declares him untouchable.
Despite some reports stating that Newcastle United might have considered a big offer from Juventus in January, they were never in the mix to sell one of their most important players. The Bianconeri reportedly view Tonali as their ‘dream target’ ahead of the summer, although there are plenty of challenges ahead to convince Newastle United.
The report also highlights how they can use Douglas Luiz in a part-exchange deal to entice the Magpies. In January, Juventus reportedly considered sending the Brazilian in return for Tonali, but there would be a massive gap in the valuation of both players.
Juventus may not sign Sandro Tonali
The valuation could prove the biggest hurdle for Juventus in their quest to sign Tonali, as Newcastle United will want to make a massive profit on their otherwise heavy investment in the midfielder. In any case, the Magpies will not be interested in selling the Italian international, even if Juventus proposes sending Luiz the other way.
More importantly, Tonali seems content with life at Newcastle despite his visible difficulties in settling in at first. Whether he feels the need to move away from the Premier League and back to Serie A remains to be seen, which could eventually scupper Juventus’ hope to sign their ‘dream target’.
