Newcastle United are in talks with Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali over a potential transfer deal, according to multiple sources.
Eddie Howe's side are actively seeking a new defensive midfielder and have explored various options, ahead of competing in the Champions League. After failing to secure Nicolo Barella due to a significant price difference, Newcastle have turned their attention to Tonali, who is open to a move to England. The club is now prepared to offer £50m for the talented midfielder, who impressed with seven assists in Serie A last season.
Talks with the 23-year-old's representatives have been positive so far, indicating his desire to join the Magpies. Newcastle is also in discussions for James Maddison but is hesitant to meet Leicester's £60m asking price. Tonali's attraction to the opportunity at Newcastle bolsters their pursuit of the player.
After an excellent 2022/23 side, Eddie Howe's side finished in the Premier League Top Four, earning a ticket to the Champions League for the first time since 2003.
