Tonali is attracting shock interest from one of Newcastle's Premier League rivals.
A Premier League club are attempting to launch a shock move to sign Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, it has been reported.
Tonali signed for Newcastle from Italian giants AC Milan in the summer of 2023.
After serving a ban for betting-related offences in 2024, he has become a near indispensable member of Eddie Howe's starting XI.
He is under contract at St James' Park until 2029, with Newcastle holding a 12-month extension to keep him until 2030.
Speculation surrounding his future for much of January was connected with a potential return to Italy, though it appeared that Newcastle were certain to keep hold of him as deadline day approached.

But according to Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg, the Italy international is attracting interest from Premier League leaders Arsenal in what would be a hugely surprising winter deadline day move.
"I have been told, from very, very top sources that Arsenal are exploring a surprising deadline day move for Sandro Tonali from Newcastle," Plettenberg said on Sky Sports News.
"There have been direct talks in the last couple of hours. But for now, very, very difficult to finalise, because Newcastle didn't give the green light.
"But Arsenal is still trying, they are pushing for Sandro Tonali to make the move happen today."
