Tonali already has NUFC transfer agreement & preferred destination - on one condition

Newcastle will demand more than £85 million for the midfielder, with Arsenal and Tottenham among several Premier League clubs weighing a bid.

  • Manchester United informed Newcastle United they will not bid for Sandro Tonali due to high wage demands and transfer fee costs, handing Arsenal a significant boost in the race for the midfielder.
  • After 15 years, Newcastle United head of recruitment Steve Nickson is set to leave the club, though sporting director Ross Wilson and head coach Eddie Howe maintain that summer transfer plans remain unaffected.
  • Valued at £100 million, Tonali was signed for £55m three years ago; Tottenham Hotspur recently entered the race to sign the 26-year-old midfielder this week.
  • Reports suggest Arsenal remain favorites to sign the Italian international, with Newcastle suspecting Tottenham's public interest is a strategic move to flush out a bid from the Premier League champions.
  • No formal approaches have been made for the midfielder yet, and Newcastle has informed representatives they will not sell unless their substantial asking price is met by interested suitors.
