Arsenal hijack £86m Man Utd move

Arsenal F.C. and Manchester United F.C. are reportedly monitoring the situation of Sandro Tonali as interest intensifies ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Newcastle United midfielder has emerged as one of the most sought-after names in Europe, with several top clubs considering a move after a disappointing campaign for Newcastle United F.C..

Arsenal Enter Transfer Race for Tonali

Reports suggest Arsenal have already held discussions with Tonali’s representatives earlier in the year, while sporting director Andrea Berta is believed to have initiated renewed contact recently regarding a potential deal.

Manager Mikel Arteta is said to view the Italian international as a “perfect” addition to strengthen his midfield following Arsenal’s strong domestic season.

Manchester United Also in Talks

Manchester United have also been heavily linked with the 26-year-old midfielder, with reports claiming that initial talks have taken place regarding a possible transfer.

The Red Devils are also believed to be working on a separate deal for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, but Tonali remains a key target as they look to rebuild their midfield.

Transfer Fee Could Reach €100 Million

Newcastle are reportedly valuing Tonali at around €100 million (£86 million), with insiders suggesting it would take a major offer to convince the club to sell.

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has indicated that Manchester United are confident about strengthening their midfield, while Arsenal are preparing what is described as an “aggressive” approach for top summer signings.

Tonali Open to Future Move

Sources close to the player suggest Tonali could consider a departure if the right opportunity arises, with a return to Serie A also being discussed. However, Premier League giants remain firmly in the race for his signature./ALLDAYSPORT/
