Real Madrid would have discreetly interested in Sandro Tonali during the FA Cup match between Newcastle and Manchester City, despite the defeat (3-1) of the Magpies. Madrid recruiters took the opportunity to observe the 25-year-old Italian midfielder, who also attracts Arsenal and could be at the heart of a summer battle estimated at more than 100 million euros according to The Sun.
Newcastle, who had already sold Alexander Isak for a record fee, are determined not to lose another key player and may have to negotiate in the event of a big offer, especially as Tonali remains under contract until 2030 and has a good relationship with Eddie Howe. At the moment, there is no indication that the player wants to leave. Additionally, the midfielder’s price could rise if Tonali shines for Italy in the World Cup play-offs. The player, despite the rumors, remains focused on Newcastle and their progress, while being aware that interest from European clubs like Real Madrid could become difficult to ignore.
