Real Madrid enter race to sign Sandro Tonali

Manchester United are quickly approaching the summer transfer window as the Red Devils aim to prepare effectively for the new season by strengthening their squad.

With pre-season operations in five European cities, including Oslo, Dublin, and Warsaw, confirmed, these matches could offer the first opportunity for United supporters to look at new signings.

One signing the club may look to complete in time for these fixtures is Newcastle United defender Malick Thiaw, who is reportedly being eyed by Michael Carrick’s side ahead of the window.

The central defender, who joined Newcastle last summer, has made 43 appearances for the club since joining whilst also scoring four Premier League goals.

Meanwhile, Manchester United could also look to secure the permanent services of Sandro Tonali in time for the start of the pre-season schedule.

The midfielder, who has been with the Toon since 2023, remained focus in his latest comments despite links to a move to Old Trafford and could cost Manchester United €100 million (£86.67 million).

Now, Real Madrid have entered the frame with scouts present at the game between Newcastle and Manchester City to keep an eye on the midfielder, according to SunSport.

In a mission initially disguised as an opportunity to plot weaknesses of Pep Guardiola’s side, the scouts also kept an eye on the midfielder during the game.

The outlet also revealed that the Spanish outfit are preparing to join the battle for the midfielder.

With these new links now made, it appears that the current interest in Sandro Tonali has increased once again as clubs look to strengthen in the summer transfer window.

Now, supporters may look to see who makes the first move whilst also looking to see if any club is willing to meet Newcastle United’s high €100 million demand.
