Newcastle United will aim to keep 25-year-old Italian international Sandro Tonali at St. James’ Park for the long haul amid his links with Serie A clubs.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Serie A clubs are interested in Sandro Tonali. However, Newcastle United will attempt to keep the Italian international at St. James’ Park for the long run, hoping to tie him to a new contract. The latest update has revealed that the player will likely commit his future to the Tyneside outfit instead of returning to Serie A.
Sandro Tonali and his Newcastle United career so far
Sandro Tonali has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League since returning from a betting ban last season. The Lodi native has been with the Magpies for two years, arriving from AC Milan in a deal worth £55 million in July 2023. However, he spent several months on the sidelines after breaching anti-betting regulations.
The ban did not affect the 24-year-old, whose performances in the middle of the park for Newcastle United have been top-notch whenever he has been fit and available. Tonali has made over 50 appearances thus far for the Tyneside outfit while chipping in with seven goals and three assists.
However, Tonali’s impressive performances for his club and country may spell bad news for Newcastle United, as Serie A clubs continue to show interest in the player. Claudio Marchisio recently suggested that Juventus should sign the Italian international. However, Newcastle United will attempt to keep him at St. James’ Park beyond the summer transfer window.
What next?
Recent reports have claimed that Newcastle United will attempt to secure an agreement with Sandro Tonali on a new contract. The Tyneside club’s decision is understandable, considering the player’s value to Eddie Howe’s team.
The former AC Milan midfielder has forged one of the best midfield partnerships in the Premier League alongside Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton at Newcastle United. So, it is hardly surprising that the Magpies want to keep Tonali at St. James’ Park for the long haul.
Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that the 25-year-old Italian international is happy at St. James’ Park. The latest update has revealed that Tonali will likely sign a new contract with Newcastle United instead of parting ways with the Tyneside club in the coming months.
