The website "Fichajes" revealed that Juventus has placed Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali, star of Newcastle United, at the top of its priorities to strengthen the midfield for the next season, as the club searches for a player who combines experience and tactical flexibility.

According to the source, the 25-year-old Tonali has established himself as one of Newcastle's key players since joining the team from Milan in July 2023 for £55 million.

Despite the penalty that sidelined him for a period due to a betting case, he has participated in over 50 matches, scoring 7 goals and providing 5 assists, making him a key element in coach Eddie Howe's lineup.

The website noted that Tonali's outstanding performance has rekindled interest from Italian clubs, led by Juventus, which is looking to strengthen its midfield amidst uncertainties regarding Manuel Locatelli's future, believing that Tonali possesses the ideal qualities to lead the midfield and restore the team's technical balance.

The same source clarified that the completion of the deal will depend on Juventus' ability to sell some of its players to provide the necessary budget, while Newcastle United may agree to negotiate if Tonali expresses a desire to return to Serie A.

Tonali is known for his ability to play in multiple positions in midfield, making him an ideal option for a Juventus team seeking a player who combines defensive strength with offensive vision, and his international experience with the Italian national team adds additional value on the field.
