Manchester United and Manchester City will compete for one player to reinforce the midfield.
Manchester Evening News reported on the 11th (Korea time) that Manchester United is aiming for Sandro Tonali.
Manchester Evening News reports that Manchester United and Manchester City are looking to bring in Tonali to reinforce their midfield this summer. Newcastle do not want to sell Tonali, but according to the news, Manchester United could test Newcastle's will with an offer of 85 million pounds (about 150 billion won).

Tonali was once one of Italy's standout next-generation midfielders. Having played for Brescia Calcio and AC Milan, he entered the English Premier League (EPL) wearing a Newcastle uniform ahead of the 2023-2024 season. It was a highly anticipated recruitment. The tremendous amount of activity, compliance with passes, forwardness, and defense were highly evaluated, and they were expected to be responsible for a position in Newcastle's midfield.
There is a problem. Tonali's past allegations of illegal gambling were revealed and he could not play. Tonali was arrested on illegal gambling charges by the Italian national team in October 2023 and has since been given a 10-month suspension, confessing all the facts. Newcastle, who lost Tonali, went through a sharp decline in their performance afterwards, but waited for Tonali.
Tonali, who returned from disciplinary action in September last year, has been playing steadily for Newcastle this season. He has scored five goals and three assists in 42 games and has shown stable performance.

However, it is reported that Tonali wants to move to the next season despite Newcastle's waiting. Even in March, some Italian media reported 'Newcastle was on the verge of losing him. Fans are hoping that Eddie Howe will persuade Tonali.
Both Manchester United and Manchester City desperately need to reinforce their midfield. Manchester United are set to part ways with some midfielders, including Christian Eriksen. Manchester City is also known to have Matteo Kovacic and Bernardu Silva, including Kevin De Bruyne, leaving the team after this season. Along with the possibility of Tonali's transfer, Manchester United and Manchester City are expected to participate in the recruitment war. If the two teams compete over Tonali's recruitment, the transfer fee is also expected to soar.
