adminRoberto De Zerbi is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down in his pursuit of Sandro Tonali, as a sensational and “irresistible” offer begins to take shape amid growing suggestions that the Italian midfielder is open to moving on in search of a greener pastures.
The situation around Tonali has now taken on a life of its own, with emotions rising on both sides as the transfer saga builds into something much bigger than just a simple negotiation.
Newcastle United may still be holding firm for now, but behind the scenes, pressure is quietly growing as fresh developments continue to surface.
Having already strengthened several key areas of the squad, Tottenham are now determined to land a marquee midfield signing, and Tonali remains firmly at the top of their wishlist.
Reports suggest Tottenham recently submitted an £80 million bid for the 26-year-old, only for Newcastle to reject the proposal.
The Magpies are believed to value the midfielder closer to £100 million, making any potential deal extremely complicated.
However, Tottenham are not prepared to walk away. Instead, De Zerbi and the club’s recruitment team are reportedly exploring alternative ways to convince Newcastle to negotiate, including the possibility of a player-plus-cash offer involving up to three first-team stars.
One player who could be included is goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Newcastle have been linked with a move for an experienced goalkeeper amid uncertainty surrounding Nick Pope’s future, and the Italian shot-stopper could be an attractive option for Eddie Howe’s side.
Another name that has emerged is highly-rated midfielder Lucas Bergvall. The Swedish youngster remains one of Tottenham’s brightest prospects and could be viewed as a long-term replacement should Newcastle eventually decide to part ways with Tonali.
His age, talent, and potential resale value could make him an appealing addition for the Magpies.
Richarlison is also being mentioned as a possible makeweight in any future negotiations.
The Brazilian forward has been linked with a move away from North London and could provide Newcastle with additional attacking depth and Premier League experience.
While Newcastle remain reluctant to sell one of their most influential players, reports indicating that Tonali is open to exploring his options this summer have handed Tottenham renewed hope.
With Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal also monitoring the midfielder, Spurs know they may need to act quickly if they are to win the race for his signature.
