Juventus legend Claudio Marchisio has tipped Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali to join Serie A giants Juventus in the future, despite the interest from Chelsea.
Towards the end of the January transfer window, CHELSEA were heavily linked with a move for the Italian star as reports suggested that the Blues was looking to add a bit more quality to that midfield for the back end of the season.
But that move obviously never happened and Tonali is staying put to try and help Newcastle get back into Europe and compete against the very best teams, but that may not be the case next season if you believe all the transfer rumours.
In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Marchisio was asked whether he would pursue a free transfer for Bernardo Silva, who is out of contract at Manchester City this summer. However, the former midfielder pivoted and said his former club needed to bring in strong Italian players to help them in their bid to return to the top of Serie A.
He said: “Football changes, but the DNA of clubs does not. Juventus have always had a core group of Italian champions and needs to rebuild it. [Gianluigi] Donnarumma seems unattainable to me, he just moved to Manchester City.
‘Tonali seems more feasible. He would be an excellent starting point, but patience will be needed.”
Could Tonali be tempted by Chelsea?
We are one of the biggest sides in the game, are constantly challenging for trophies and have the financial power to tempt any player to Stamford Bridge, including Tonali. So Yes we have a very good chance of getting the Italian.
However – with all the brilliance we have in midfield, there is a question as to whether CHELSEA actually need to add another midfielder to the side when adding a new goalkeeper, defender and possible striker is on the agenda for Liam Rosenior.
So he may be tempted, but we may not need him.
