Newcastle United have made their position clear on Sandro Tonali following reports linking the midfielder with a sensational £100 million move to Manchester United this summer.
Tonali, who arrived at St James’ Park from AC Milan in a deal worth around £55m in 2023, has remained a high-profile name in the transfer market despite his time away from action this season.
What has been revealed is that Newcastle have no intention of selling Tonali, with the club viewing him as a key part of their long-term plans and not a player they are prepared to cash in on.
The Italy international has been at the centre of transfer talk as United continue to assess midfield options, but Newcastle’s stance is firm as they look to build around their top talents rather than weaken Eddie Howe’s squad.
Tonali has already become an important figure at the club and Newcastle are determined to keep him, regardless of outside interest or the size of any figures being discussed.
For now, that leaves Manchester United facing a major obstacle if they are to turn their reported interest into something more concrete in the months ahead.
