Arsenal are reportedly stepping up their interest in Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali as speculation grows that the Gunners could make a move for the Italy international in the upcoming transfer window.
According to reports cited by icfootballnews, Arsenal are exploring the possibility of bringing the 25-year-old to the Emirates Stadium as manager Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his midfield options. Tonali has been on the radar of several top clubs following his impressive performances for Newcastle since arriving from AC Milan in 2023.
The Italian international has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most complete midfielders, combining defensive awareness with strong passing ability and tactical intelligence.
His performances in the middle of the park have made him a key figure under Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, and any move away from St James’ Park would likely require a significant transfer fee.
Newcastle are understood to value Tonali highly and are in a strong contractual position. The midfielder signed a long-term deal that runs until 2029, with the club also holding an option to extend the agreement further.
Despite that security, transfer rumours surrounding the Italian have not disappeared. Reports in recent weeks have suggested that several elite clubs are monitoring his situation ahead of the summer window, with ARSENAL frequently mentioned among the interested parties.
Any potential deal could hinge on personal terms. According to the latest reports, Tonali would demand a salary of around £200,000 per week to make the move to north London. Such a figure would represent a significant increase on his current earnings at Newcastle, where he is believed to earn roughly £120,000–£150,000 per week depending on bonuses and estimates.
For ARSENAL, the attraction is clear. Arteta has sought to build a technically gifted and physically dominant midfield capable of competing for the Premier League and Champions League. Tonali’s ability to dictate tempo, win possession and drive play forward fits the profile of player the Spaniard wants to add to his squad.
However, Newcastle have repeatedly insisted they are under no pressure to sell one of their most important players. With Tonali under contract for several more years and playing a central role in their plans, the Magpies are expected to resist approaches unless a huge offer arrives.
For now, Arsenal’s interest remains at the rumour stage. But with the summer window approaching and Tonali’s reputation continuing to grow, the speculation surrounding his future looks unlikely to fade any time soon.
