According to Milan-based journalist Fabrizio Longo, Sandro Tonali is seriously considering leaving Newcastle United to seek the next step in his career. He stated that Tonali prefers to join a top team in the Premier League or La Liga, while also hoping to return to AC Milan within 3-4 years.
Regarding Tonali's current situation, the Italian midfielder is definitely one of Manchester United's transfer targets. He remains on the list until Manchester United finally decides which midfielder—or midfielders (possibly two, considering Casemiro's situation)—to sign. Casemiro will leave as a free agent, so Manchester United is indeed considering signing two midfielders for next season, especially given their expected qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season, making the addition of a world-class midfielder obviously important. Tonali is undoubtedly highly appreciated by Manchester United. But what is Tonali's current situation? First of all, Tonali has performed brilliantly not only for Newcastle United in recent months but also for the Italian national team.
His crucial goal against Northern Ireland in the last match was extremely important for both Tonali and the Italian team. Looking to the future, Newcastle United also anticipates potential movements surrounding Tonali this summer, as the club is aware that the player himself may be willing to start a new chapter.
In Italy, Juventus is interested in him, but the operation is very complicated for Italian clubs, and the possibility of it happening is very low. The situation may be different for Premier League clubs.
Arsenal's interest in Tonali has been confirmed, but they never attempted to sign him in January because the deal was simply impossible to complete at that time. Arsenal will continue to monitor the situation, but there has been no substantial progress so far.
Manchester United has confirmed their interest to the player's side. There have already been some contacts between Manchester United and Tonali's team. So it is certain that Tonali is highly appreciated by Manchester United, and both parties have made contact to understand the player's situation. No agreement has been reached yet, and there has been no substantial progress; everything is still in the early stages. But Tonali is definitely at the top of Manchester United's transfer list, and he is a highly admired player. If all parties can reach a near agreement, Tonali is likely to be interested in this destination.
