Sandro Tonali deals Manchester united blow in transfer pursuit

Manchester United are gearing up for a hectic summer in the transfer market.

Casemiro’s out at the end of the season, so midfield is the main priority.

Michael Carrick’s done a solid job steadying things on the pitch, but behind the scenes, there’s still a lot of planning going on.

United aren’t just chasing names, they want midfielders who can slot in right away, not players who need a whole system built around them.

The competition for top talent is already heating up across the Premier League, and United know other clubs won’t wait around.

Sandro Tonali is one of the players they’re watching.

He’s at Newcastle now, but a lot of teams are circling.

United rivals, Manchester City and Arsenal are reportedly monitoring the midfielder.

According to talkSPORT, Sandro Tonali is open to heading back to Italy, with Juventus also sniffing around.

United are keeping tabs, but they know his interest in going back to Italy could make things tricky if they want to bring him to Old Trafford.

Newcastle aren’t going to let him go for cheap.

They want at least £80 million, maybe even £100 million.

They’re hoping to get back what they paid while seeing who else might bid.

United have Tonali on a shortlist with Carlos Baleba, Elliot Anderson, and Adam Wharton.

They want two new midfielders who can help either Carrick or the new manager right away and fit into whatever long-term plan the club settles on.

And with Arsenal and Manchester City also interested, this could turn into a real bidding war for a Premier League proven player that fits perfectly into the INEOS criteria.

Tonali’s situation makes United’s summer plans even more complicated.

His interest in Italy might be a problem, but United are ready to look at every possibility.
