Italian media suggest ridiculous new price tag for Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali
Sandro Tonali has emerged as one of the most talked-about figures in this summer’s transfer window, with speculation swirling around a potential return to Serie A.
Despite the rumors, Newcastle United have made it abundantly clear they have no intention of parting ways with the Italian midfielder. At just 24 years old, Tonali has already proven himself as a vital cog in Eddie Howe’s system, showcasing the kind of talent that aligns perfectly with the club’s long-term ambitions.
Jason Tindall, who has witnessed Tonali’s growth firsthand, has been vocal about the player’s immense potential. Having observed his performances from the dugout, Tindall believes the midfielder has no ceiling—his ability to dictate play, break up opposition attacks, and contribute in the final third makes him one of Europe’s most complete midfielders.
Newcastle’s vision under chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan is to build a superteam by 2030, and Tonali is seen as a cornerstone of that project. His performances this season have only reinforced the belief that he belongs among the elite.
Despite Newcastle’s firm stance, Juventus remain undeterred in their pursuit. Reports suggest the Turin giants are even prepared to offer Douglas Luiz as part of a deal to lure Tonali back to Italy.
However, the Magpies have no interest in entertaining such proposals. With Champions League qualification within reach, the club views Tonali as indispensable for their European ambitions.
His presence in midfield provides the perfect blend of tenacity, creativity, and leadership—qualities that will be crucial in the competition’s high-stakes environment.
Italian media, however, continue to fuel speculation, with La Gazzetta dello Sport claiming that an offer between £60-70 million could tempt Newcastle into selling. But those figures fall well short of the club’s valuation.
Considering Tonali’s £55 million arrival from AC Milan in 2023, a mere £5 million profit would be laughable given his impact this season. His statistics speak volumes—three goals, two assists, over 1,100 accurate passes, and 152 recoveries in just 30 league appearances underline his importance.
Newcastle’s stance is unequivocal: Tonali is not for sale. Recent reports indicate that even world-record offers exceeding £100 million would be rejected, a testament to how highly the club rates him.
His seamless adaptation to the Premier League, coupled with his resilience following a 10-month suspension, has only deepened the bond between player and club.
Tonali himself has shown no desire to leave, embracing life on Tyneside with the same passion that once made him a fan favorite at the San Siro.
The Magpies’ resolve to keep him sends a strong message—they are no longer a selling club but one building for sustained success. With Juventus and other European heavyweights circling, Newcastle’s refusal to budge highlights their ambition.
Tonali is more than just a player; he symbolizes the new era at St. James’ Park. And as the summer transfer window heats up, one thing remains certain: Sandro Tonali will be wearing black and white next season.
