Newcastle prepares for Sandro Tonali's potential departure this summer

Newcastle United is bracing for the potential departure of midfielder Sandro Tonali this summer, as reports indicate the club has resigned to the possibility of losing the 26-year-old Italian. Initially resistant to sell, Newcastle is now reportedly open to negotiations, setting an asking price of £100 million. This comes amid ongoing interest from Manchester United and Arsenal, who are exploring midfield options following Casemiro's absence. Newcastle has already identified possible replacements, as the club aims to manage expectations around Tonali's future amid a burgeoning market led by interest in players like Elliot Anderson.
