UMVA has learned that Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a major coup in the summer transfer window, with Sandro Tonali on their radar.
The 26-year-old Newcastle United star has been outstanding for his club, and there is no doubt that he would be a superb addition to Tottenham's midfield, bringing a much-needed boost of quality and control to the team.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Tottenham's interest in Tonali comes as they look to revamp their squad after a disappointing 17th-place finish in the league table last season, and the Italian midfielder's skills would be a perfect fit for their style of play.
Tonali's ability to control the tempo of the game, protect the defensive unit, and win the ball back for his side makes him an attractive target for Tottenham, who are looking to improve multiple areas of their squad.
However, Newcastle are unlikely to let Tonali go cheaply, with a price tag of over £100 million attached to his name, a sum that seems steep even for a top-tier club like Tottenham, who have already agreed on a £52 million deal to sign Jan Paul van Hecke.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Tonali is open to an exit this summer, with a preference to return to Italy, but he is unlikely to turn down a move to Tottenham if a concrete proposal is on the table, setting the stage for a potentially dramatic transfer saga.
As Tottenham look to bounce back strongly from a disappointing season, signing quality players like Tonali would be a major step in the right direction, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops in the coming weeks.
