Manchester United have reportedly held initial talks for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali as the Red Devils look to strengthen their midfield for next season.
With Casemiro expected to leave at the end of this season and Manuel Ugarte’s situation uncertain, United are considering options to increase creativity and defensive control in the middle of the pitch.
The 25-year-old is seen as a player who can provide both defensive discipline and forward push in the game.
The Italy international is said to be open to a move but wants to finish the season with Newcastle. Any potential move could be complicated by the English club’s financial demands and the player’s long-term contract.
Other European clubs, including Manchester City, are also monitoring the situation, but United see Premier League experience as a key advantage for the midfielder.
Media outlets report that talks are continuing, with greater clarity expected in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Tonali has prioritized a return to Italy, with Juventus as an option, but he would not rule out a transfer to Old Trafford.
