Sandro Tonali has quickly become a major target for Manchester United in the upcoming summer transfer window.
United has been looking to bring in at least one midfielder as part of their planned rebuild.
Casemiro is expected to depart when his contract ends, and Manuel Ugarte’s future is uncertain after struggling since his move from PSG.
Therefore, United is seeking new talent, with Tonali alongside Carlos Baleba, Elliot Anderson, and Adam Wharton on their shortlist.
However, they face competition, as Juventus is also interested in the Newcastle United midfielder.
Tonali, who previously played for AC Milan, is eager to return to Serie A, making this interest appealing to him.
He joined Newcastle in 2023 for £50 million and has since made 94 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists, contributing to their Carabao Cup win last season.
A move to Juventus would bring him back to Italy for personal reasons.
This situation puts United, as well as Manchester City and Arsenal, at a disadvantage as they consider their options for the midfielder.
However, Juventus will need to pay a significant fee, with Newcastle placing a valuation between £80 million and £100 million on him.
With his contract extending until 2028, and an option for another 12 months, Newcastle is in a strong negotiating position.
It remains uncertain whether Juventus or any other interested clubs will meet this high asking price, but with several months left before the summer transfer window opens, anything could happen.
