Newcastle United may consider selling Sandro Tonali in 2025

According to recent reports, Newcastle United and their owners PIF may reluctantly consider offers for midfielder Sandro Tonali at the end of the 2024/25 season. This surprising development comes despite Tonali’s importance to the team since joining from AC Milan.

Sources suggest Tonali is unhappy at St James’ Park and that a large bid from a club like Juventus would be carefully considered by Newcastle. The club may need to sell a high-value player like Tonali to comply with Premier League financial regulations.

Losing the £120,000-per-week Italian would be a major blow for Newcastle, especially after his lengthy gambling suspension this season. However, financial pressures may force the club’s hand rather than an active desire to sell.

Teammate Bruno Guimaraes recently praised Tonali, saying: “He’s an unbelievable player and a really amazing guy. He was always supporting us even while suspended. He’s learned English already and is a massive player for us – I’m so proud of him.”

If this is to be Tonali’s final season at Newcastle, fans will hope he can help deliver European qualification and potentially cup success before departing. His creativity and work rate in midfield have been vital to the team’s improved performances under Eddie Howe.

While purely speculative at this stage, the possibility of Tonali leaving next year will concern supporters who view him as a key part of Newcastle’s ambitious project. The coming months may prove crucial in determining the Italian’s long-term future on Tyneside.
