Sandro Tonali has reportedly set his sights on joining a club capable of competing for the Premier League title, according to comments made by his agent, Giuseppe “Beppe” Riso, sparking fresh transfer speculation involving Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
The Italian midfielder currently plays for Newcastle United, but his representative has openly discussed ambitions for the player to reach the very top level of the English game. Speaking in an interview with Italian media, Riso explained that Tonali’s move to England was always part of a wider plan to develop him into one of the world’s leading midfielders.
Riso said the objective from the moment Tonali arrived in England was “to try to make him a star player,” adding that the Italy international is now among the most valuable footballers from his country.
The comments have inevitably fueled speculation about the midfielders long-term future at Newcastle, particularly with several elite clubs monitoring his progress. Reports indicate that teams competing at the top end of the Premier League table — including ARSENAL, Chelsea and United — have been linked with potential interest, especially if Tonali continues to perform at a high level
Riso said: “Exactly, this was the objective since the moment he came to England: looking to become a top player. I think he’s one of the most valuable Italian players in the world right now.”
Tonali is hoping to help Italy qualify for the World Cup in this month’s play-offs. Asked if clubs such would be chasing Tonali if he impresses at the tournament, Riso added: “I’m not sure, but it’s very likely. Everyone’s waiting for the World Cup, then a thousand situations could arrive. But everything would start after the World Cup.”
Newcastle will fight to keep hold of Tonali
Despite the growing speculation, Newcastle remain in a strong position regarding the player’s future. Tonali signed a long-term contract extension that runs until at least 2029, meaning the club are under no immediate pressure to sell their midfield star.
Still, Riso’s remarks have added intrigue ahead of the upcoming transfer windows. The agent suggested that Tonali’s future could become clearer after major international tournaments, hinting that strong performances on the global stage could attract further interest from Europe’s biggest clubs.
For ARSENAL, Chelsea and Manchester United, the situation may represent a potential opportunity if Newcastle ever decide to entertain offers. All three clubs have been linked with midfield reinforcements as they plan their squads for the coming seasons.
For now, Tonali remains an integral part of Newcastle’s plans. But with his agent openly discussing ambitions to reach the very top of English football, the Italian international could become one of the most talked-about midfielders in the transfer market in the months ahead.
