Real Madrid and Manchester City have been linked with a sensational move for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, as the Italian international continues to impress in the Premier League.
Tonali’s Impressive Return Fuels Speculation
Since returning from his gambling suspension, Sandro Tonali has been instrumental in Newcastle United’s push for a top-four Premier League finish. However, the Magpies’ inconsistent presence in the Champions League has reignited speculation about Tonali’s future at St. James’ Park.
While Tonali’s agent has previously dismissed reports of the midfielder’s unhappiness in England, speculation of a summer move continues to build. The Italian star has publicly expressed his satisfaction at Newcastle, but transfer interest from elite clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City may prove hard to resist.
Real Madrid and Manchester City Join the Race
According to renowned journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Real Madrid and Manchester City are among the latest clubs monitoring Tonali. Di Marzio revealed that Madrid’s interest could depend on whether Carlo Ancelotti remains in charge or Xabi Alonso takes over. Meanwhile, Manchester City are also considering Tonali as a potential addition to their midfield.
“I think Tonali will leave Newcastle,” Di Marzio shared with Sky Sports Italia. “He could return to Italy, but he also has significant international market value. Real Madrid or Manchester City could make a move for him.”
Despite this speculation, Tonali is under contract at Newcastle until 2028 and remains a key figure in their plans to establish themselves among the Premier League’s elite.
Newcastle’s Fight for Champions League Football
Newcastle are currently fifth in the Premier League table, missing out on the top four only due to goal difference. Securing Champions League football next season may prove crucial in keeping Tonali at the club, as his performances make him a target for Europe’s top teams.
