The 2025 summer mercato isn’t open yet, of course, but it’s already underway, so rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain still arrive from time to time. This time, it’s Caught Offside that assures us there’s interest in Sandro Tonali, the 24-year-old Italian and Newcastle midfielder under contract until 2028 following his arrival in 2023 from AC Milan. And the Italian is keen to take the next step in his career.
“Top clubs such as Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are on alert for Sandro Tonali.
Sources close to the situation have informed CaughtOffside that Tonali has indicated that he could be open to leaving Newcastle United this summer.
CaughtOffside understands that Newcastle would ideally like to keep Tonali, but that there’s also the sense that they could accept offers in the region of €80m. NUFC will likely favour selling this key player abroad.”
We remain cautious, as there is absolutely nothing concrete and this media is far from being perfectly reliable. All we can say here is that Tonali is a very interesting player, who could be a great addition to a number of big teams. Including PSG. But Newcastle’s asking price is bound to be high.
The Italian could be tempted by a departure to get closer to the chance of winning titles, including the Champions League. But there’s nothing official yet. The 24-year-old Italian also has a betting case discovered 2 years ago, with a lengthy suspension handed down, from which he had to get out. Perhaps he wants to be cautious for the time being and remain grateful to Newcastle.
Each of the clubs mentioned may also have other priorities, and there’s nothing to say that a negotiation with the English club would be straightforward. Let’s wait and see what happens in the face of all this vagueness.
