"Reports this morning claimed the Gunners had asked about the Italy international as they look to find a replacement for Mikel Merino, who is likely to miss the rest of the season due to a foot injury. Tonali would fit the bill after excelling for Newcastle since joining from AC Milan in 2023 but the Tynesiders have denied any contact with Arsenal."
"A deal of that magnitude would be very difficult to compete ahead of the deadline that closes at 7pm this evening. And with Newcastle's midfield currently struggling with the injury-enforced absences of Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes, there would be little appetite for the club to consider losing Tonali. Tonali has a contract at St James' Park until 2029, a deal that was negotiated during a 10-month suspension for illegal betting activity."
Newcastle have dismissed suggestions that Arsenal inquired about Sandro Tonali ahead of the transfer deadline. Arsenal reportedly sought a replacement for Mikel Merino, who is likely to miss the rest of the season with a foot injury. Tonali has impressed since joining from AC Milan in 2023 and would fit Arsenal's profile, but Newcastle deny any contact and are unlikely to sell. Newcastle's midfield is already weakened by injuries to Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes, reducing the appetite to lose Tonali. Tonali is contracted to Newcastle until 2029 after a deal negotiated during a 10-month suspension for illegal betting. Jamaal Lascelles may leave for Leicester.
