Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali could reportedly join Manchester United in a mega-money deal this summer. According to Tuttomercatoweb via Calciomercato.it, the Red Devils are ready to offer around €100 million for the Italian superstar.

Sandro Tonali left Milan in the summer of 2023 to sign a multi-year contract with Newcastle, with the Magpies forking out around €70m to lure him to the Premier League. However, a lengthy 10-month ban due to illegal betting activities in October 2023 curtailed Tonali’s early career at St James’ Park.

Despite the rough start, Tonali has quickly established himself as one of Eddie Howe’s standout performers in the last two seasons. Nevertheless, rumors over his potential return to Serie A have never vanished. Inter, Juventus, and Napoli have been hot on his trail for years.

Unfortunately, they are likely to miss out on his signature, with Manchester United earmarking him as an ideal long-term replacement for the outgoing Casemiro. Indeed, the Brazilian veteran has already announced his departure at the end of the season.

Our take on Sandro Tonali & Manchester United

Unlike all the interested clubs from Serie A, Newcastle’s hefty asking price won’t deter Man Utd, with the Red Devils ready to invest heavily in the summer after securing Champions League qualification.

Tonali ticks all the boxes for the type of player the Old Trafford giants are looking to recruit. At 26, he is at the peak of his powers. Furthermore, he is already an established Premier League star.

Michael Carrick’s men have shown multiple times in the past that they have no problems with splashing out stratospheric figures on high-profile signings. Therefore, it’s hard to imagine Tonali returning to Serie A anytime soon.
