Sandro Tonali is the target of a transfer approach from Tottenham, according to Simon Jones of The Mail, but the Newcastle United midfielder is expected to stay at the club.
What happened?
Tottenham have made an audacious approach to sign Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United, as reported by The Mail.
The approach is seen as laughable by many, given Tottenham's recent relegation battles and lack of European football.
Why it matters for Sandro Tonali
Sandro Tonali is a top-quality player and a key figure in Newcastle United's midfield, alongside Bruno Guimaraes.
The Italy international is unlikely to be tempted by a move to Tottenham, given the club's current situation.
Newcastle United paid £55m for Sandro Tonali three years ago, and would only consider selling him for a significantly higher fee.
What comes next?
Sandro Tonali is expected to remain at Newcastle United next season, with the club hoping to bounce back up the Premier League table.
The midfielder's presence will be key to Newcastle United's success, and he is unlikely to be swayed by Tottenham's approach.
And with Newcastle United seeking a huge offer to consider a sale, it seems unlikely that Sandro Tonali will be leaving the club anytime soon.
But the transfer window is always full of surprises, and only time will tell if Sandro Tonali will remain at Newcastle United.
So for now, it seems that Sandro Tonali will be staying put, and Tottenham will have to look elsewhere for midfield reinforcements.
The Mail reports that Tottenham have thrown their hat into the ring for Sandro Tonali, but it seems like a long shot.
As of now, Sandro Tonali is still a Newcastle United player, and it will take a significant offer to change that.
