Manchester United are seriously working on a move for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali ahead of the summer transfer window, according to German journalist Christopher Michel. Man United are preparing for life without Casemiro and have identified the Italy international as a replacement. Tonali is open to joining the Red Devils and a deal could be on the cards if the Old Trafford club can convince their St. James’ Park counterparts with a juicy offer in the summer.
The Newcastle star has proven himself in the Premier League since joining the Magpies from AC Milan in 2023, and Man United could do with his quality and experience. The 25-year-old Tonali wants to play regular Champions League football, and the Red Devils will be offering that next season if they maintain their current momentum. Man United are third in the Premier League table ahead of the final eight fixtures of 2025-26, while Newcastle are ninth and nine points off the top-four.
The Magpies could miss out entirely on European football next season except they win the Champions League, and they could be forced to sell one or two stars to balance the books.
