Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Italian international Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid are plotting a €75 million move for Sandro Tonali. Meanwhile, Arsenal are interested in the 25-year-old Newcastle United midfielder as well, and it will be interesting to see which of the two clubs can get the deal done.
Tonali has been excellent for Newcastle United in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed in La Liga as well. He could be a key player for Real Madrid if they manage to get the deal done.
Los Blancos need more depth in the defensive midfield department, and the Italian international would be a solid long-term acquisition. The player is entering the peak years of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge.
Tonali has played for a big team like AC Milan in the past, and he knows what it takes to play for a club like Real Madrid. There is no doubt that the midfielder will be excited about the possibility of joining the Spanish club. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle United are prepared to sanction his departure.
Tonali set for summer exit?
Sandro Tonali was heavily linked with a move away from Newcastle on deadline day of the winter transfer window, but a move did not materialise. However, his agent has hinted that a move could be possible in the summer.
The player is now looking to compete at the highest level, and a move away from Newcastle United would be ideal. Meanwhile, Arsenal are keeping tabs on his situation as well, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer to get the deal done.
Whoever ends up signing the Italian international could have a star on their hands. Newcastle United will not want to lose an important player like him, but they could be under pressure if the player decides to force an exit. The opportunity to join clubs like Real Madrid or Arsenal will be hard to turn down for him.
