Sandro Tonali has been linked with a move away from Newcastle United in recent weeks, with Arsenal interested in him.
Arsenal were reportedly interested in signing Sandro Tonali, who cost Newcastle United £55 million, during the January transfer window, but the move did not materialise. It will be interesting to see if they decide to come back for him at the end of the season.
The player’s agent has hinted that a move could be possible in the summer and that they will evaluate the situation once the season is over. The Italian international midfielder has been excellent for Newcastle United, and he hopes to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season.
It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can finish the season strongly. They need to compete at a high level regularly to retain quality players like Tonali. Meanwhile, recent reports have suggested that the 25-year-old and his family are happy in Newcastle United.
His agent Giuseppe Riso said via Sky Sports, “Newcastle are having a hard time letting go of Sandro, and he wants to lead the club to the Champions League. These transfer discussions will take place later. We’ll see how the season ends and then we’ll decide what to do.
“There’s no preference at the moment. It’s still early. What we’re saying today won’t apply tomorrow. Newcastle couldn’t let him go now, and there’s no point in moving, especially since Sandro is very attached to the club. We’ll evaluate and decide what to do in the summer.”
Boost for Arsenal in transfer race
The comments from the midfielder’s agent will certainly give Arsenal a major confidence boost. They will look to sign the player when the season ends. The Gunners could use more physicality and defensive steel in the middle of the park, and the Italian international could make an immediate impact. He would be an upgrade on players like Christian Norgaard.
The 25-year-old has consistently shown his quality in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he is good enough to play for bigger clubs. The opportunity move to Arsenal could be the ideal next step for him, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level. He will look to win Premier League titles and Champions League trophies with them.
