Newcastle will be targeting several important signings this summer, but they could also lose key players – and one of those could be Sandro Tonali, who has attracted interest from clubs in Italy and Spain.
Alexander Isak and Antony Gordon have also been linked with leaving Newcastle during the summer transfer window, but at this stage, Tonali could be someone that is closer to the exit door. Juventus are very keen to bring him back to Italy, while Barcelona are also registered as having an interest in the defensive midfielder, who has been a revelation since returning from his 10-month suspension last August.
However, Newcastle have ambitions of establishing themselves as a team that regularly finishes inside the Premier League’s Champions League places, and because of this, they are unwilling to sell players like Tonali that are crucial for Eddie Howe.
Newcastle set minimum asking price for Sandro Tonali
But despite this, it has been reported by La Stampa (via Sport Witness) that Newcastle have set a minimum asking price of €60-70m for Tonali. Juventus are said to be unwilling to reach that amount, but their hope would be to include Douglas Luiz in a deal to bring the price down to a figure that suits them.
Newcastle signed Tonali two years for a fee in the region of €60m, and given that he has become one of their most important players in recent months, it would be a major surprise if they were willing to sell for this reported valuation – unless the player himself was pushing for a move away, which does not appear to be the case at this stage.
Nevertheless, Juventus appear determined to sign Tonali this summer, so it would be no surprise if they made contact with Newcastle during the transfer window.
€60m might get you one of his legs. Author must have been drunk when this was written. Has had a massive season, would be worth more like £100m
The only thing I can think of that would justify this bizarre inaccuracy is if it was fed to him by Madrid or Juve
Get a life
So, Newcastle are willing to sell a player they bought for £55m + add ons for €60~€70m! The way he’s been playing even the dumbest follower of football would expect his price to rise, significantly. Give your heads a wobble man.
When will you guys wake up? Tonali, like Isak, Bruno and Gordon are going nowhere. Making up rumours and putting them out is only making you very foolish.
Opta may be mistaken to assume Arsenal are the big favourites to win the Champions league on account of the fact that they beat Real Madrid. Real had absences in the crucial area and Arteta took that to his advantage. Arsenal can struggle against Aston Villa as they usually did. PSG is a balanced team and match Arsenal in all aspects of the game.Barcelona is a balanced team too except that their good goal keeper is still not fit.
