Tonali Transfer Saga: Man City & Man United Lock Horns

Tonali's next move, Premier League clubs in waiting

Sandro Tonali's summer transfer drama unfolds. Manchester City and Manchester United eye Newcastle's €100m midfielder.

Newcastle's Sandro Tonali sparks Premier League bidding war. Who'll blink first?

Sandro Tonali's summer transfer saga is heating up! The Newcastle midfielder is emerging as a top target for Manchester giants, but any deal won't come cheap - Newcastle's asking price is a whopping €100m. The Magpies are in no rush to sell, and with Tonali's contract running until 2029, they might just price him out of a move.

Manchester United and Manchester City are leading the charge, with Arsenal also interested. Tonali's agent, Giuseppe Riso, has hinted that his client is ready for a new challenge, fueling speculation about a potential exit. But Newcastle's manager Eddie Howe isn't worried, emphasizing Tonali's commitment to the team.

Juventus are eyeing him as a dream target, with Manchester United and Arsenal also in the mix. Manchester City's now reportedly interested too.

If Newcastle gets firm offers, insiders think they'd push for €100m for Tonali, given his potential and current form.

A €100m price tag could price Juventus out, despite Tonali being open to a return to Italy.

If a move happens, a Premier League switch looks more likely, which would boost Newcastle's finances in the process.

Tonali's €70m move to Newcastle in 2023 makes him a valuable asset, and they're keen to keep him out of rival English clubs' hands.

Despite interest from Arsenal, Man United, and Man City, it's unclear if Arsenal will make a formal bid. Newcastle's prepared for the chase, though.

Manchester United's interest is real, and Man City insiders confirm they're seriously considering Tonali too.

Sandro Tonali has another three full seasons to run on his contract, plus Newcastle hold the option of extending it by a further year, due to a secret deal handed to the midfielder during his 10-month suspension for gambling offences.

Both clubs are making early moves, gauging the player's stance and laying groundwork for potential offers.

Man City's getting confident about Tonali, with insiders at the Etihad suggesting they're optimistic.

City might go all out to sign both Anderson and Tonali, and they reckon they've got an edge in talks with Newcastle.

Newcastle's focusing on their own signings, and they're eyeing Man City's fringe players.

With Champions League qualification gone and a tough exit to Barcelona, the Magpies might have to get creative in the summer window
