Newcastle United is poised to profit significantly from the potential departure of midfielder Sandro Tonali.
Reports from GiveMeSport indicate that Newcastle’s management has made a definitive choice to allow the Italian midfielder to leave during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The club’s failure to qualify for next season’s Champions League has played a crucial role in this decision, as it limits their ability to retain the 26-year-old, who has expressed a desire to move on.
Manchester United has emerged as the primary contender for Tonali, having monitored the player for over a season. Newcastle is willing to facilitate his transfer but expects no less than £87 million for his services.
During the current season, Tonali has featured in 53 matches for Newcastle, contributing 3 goals and 7 assists. His market value is currently estimated at €80 million, according to Transfermarkt.
