Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old Italian international Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United this summer.

According to a report by Caught Offside, Sandro Tonali is ready to leave Newcastle United in the summer transfer window. The situation has piqued the attention of Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester City, among others. Meanwhile, Newcastle United will hope to keep hold of the Italian international but will demand around €80 million to part ways with him.

Sandro Tonali and his Newcastle United journey

Sandro Tonali has established himself as one of the most dependable performers in the Premier League since joining Newcastle United from AC Milan in July 2023. While the player missed nearly the entire 2023/24 season, he has come leaps and bounds since returning from his betting ban.

The 24-year-old has turned out over 50 times thus far for Newcastle United while chipping in with six goals and three assists. However, Tonali is ready to embark on a new adventure in the summer transfer window. The situation has piqued the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester City.

A man in demand

Barcelona might dip into the market for a midfielder in the summer transfer window, even though Pedri, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Casado, and Fermin Lopez have been top-class in the 2024/25 season. Nevertheless, Hansi Flick wants more quality in the middle of the park, compelling Barcelona to set sights on the Italian international.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s interest in Sandro Tonali is understandable. Toni Kroos has left a gaping hole in the midfield unit at the Santiago Bernabeu since hanging up his boots last year. In addition, Luka Modric is in the twilight of his career. So, the Newcastle United midfielder has emerged as a viable target for Real Madrid.

As for Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne will depart from the Etihad in the summer transfer window. In addition, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Matheus Nunes, and Mateo Kovacic face an uncertain future at Manchester City. So, several candidates, including Bruno Guimaraes, have emerged on the Citizens’ radar. However, Tonali is also an option worth considering.

Meanwhile, despite Tonali’s stance, Newcastle United will hope to keep hold of the player beyond the summer transfer window. However, they will demand €80 million to part ways with the 24-year-old Italian international if push comes to shove. So, it will be interesting to see if Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester City are ready to fork out €80 million to secure his services.
