According to Fabrizio Romano, there is a strong possibility that Sandro Tonali, a 25-year-old Italian defensive midfielder, will leave Newcastle during the summer transfer window. Romano also stated that a return to Italy is considered his best option. Napoli has a Club Fit score of 79, which is higher than Arsenal's score of 74. Roma, AC Milan, and Juventus are also listed as strong potential destinations. Romano mentioned that Juventus have a strong desire to sign Tonali, but he also cautioned that any deal would be very expensive and complicated for Italian clubs to finalize. Tonali joined Newcastle in July 2023, is under contract until June 2028, and has 30 caps for Italy. In the current Premier League season, he has made 27 appearances, providing one assist. His current valuation on Transfermarkt is €75.00m. It has been reported that Newcastle's asking price was as high as €120 million in early 2026, and Real Madrid was previously linked with a bid of more than €75 million.
