Manchester City, Arsenal and United chase Newcastle midfielder Tonali

Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United are competing for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali. The 26‑year‑old Italian is under contract with Newcastle until 2028. His contract situation means a sizable offer will be required.

Tonali featured in 53 matches for Newcastle last season, scoring three goals and providing seven assists across all competitions. He operated in Eddie Howe’s midfield and is regarded as one of the Premier League’s top holding midfielders. His performances earned him a reputation for influencing games from deep.

The midfielder combines tough tackling with strong positional sense, often making crucial interceptions. He is also a tidy passer and can strike from long range, adding both defensive stability and occasional goal contributions. His ability to deliver decisive passes in the final third enhances his overall profile.

A move to Manchester City would give him depth at the Etihad Stadium and a chance to compete for a regular first‑team place. At 26, Tonali still has his peak years ahead, and the club sees him as a potential asset in future title challenges.
