Liverpool are reportedly considering a shock attempt to hijack Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, according to reports emerging from Italy.
The Italy international, currently with Newcastle United, is said to be at the centre of growing transfer speculation after claims that Tottenham Hotspur have offered him a lucrative six-year contract worth around £275,000 per week.
Italian media outlets have suggested Spurs are pushing aggressively to secure a deal, viewing Tonali as a long-term cornerstone for their midfield rebuild.
However, fresh reports indicate that em>LIVERPOOL could enter the race late, with the club monitoring developments closely as they assess potential midfield reinforcements ahead of upcoming transfer windows.
The Reds are understood to be tracking several elite European midfielders as part of their long-term squad planning, and Tonali’s profile—combining technical quality, tactical intelligence, and Premier League experience—has made him an attractive option.
Tonali joined Newcastle from AC Milan in 2023 in a high-profile move and quickly established himself as a key figure in the side before his career was disrupted by a gambling ban earlier in the 2023/24 season.
Since returning, he has gradually worked his way back into top-level contention, with Newcastle continuing to manage his reintegration carefully as they balance domestic and European ambitions.
The Italian international remains under contract at St James’ Park for several years, and Newcastle are not believed to be actively seeking a sale. Any potential departure would likely require a substantial financial package, particularly given his importance when fully fit and available.
Liverpool’s reported interest is still at an exploratory stage, with no formal bid or contact with Newcastle confirmed. However, the suggestion that the Merseyside club could “hijack” Tottenham’s move has added a new layer of intrigue to what is already shaping up to be one of the more closely watched transfer sagas.
For Tottenham, the pursuit of Tonali is understood to be part of a broader strategy to add top-level experience and physical presence to their midfield unit. Spurs have been increasingly active in targeting established international players as they look to bridge the gap with the Premier League’s top contenders.
As it stands, all parties remain in a monitoring phase, with Tonali’s future expected to remain a talking point as the transfer window approaches. The coming weeks are likely to determine whether Tottenham can firm up their interest—or whether em>LIVERPOOL’s late intervention develops into something more concrete.
