At the end of the transfer window, Sport Witness brought comments from Sandro Tonali’s agent, who had been trying to skip blame for the late Newcastle United to Arsenal rumours.
Beppe Riso tried to dismiss it, but there has spoken since and there’s a clear summer situation building. The agent denied any talks with Arsenal for the Italian midfielder, who has constantly been mentioned as a target for Juventus.
Arsenal links to Newcastle United player killing Juve dream
Sandro Tonali
LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY – 10 DECEMBER, 2025: Sandro Tonali – UEFA Champions League, match Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs Newcastle United at BayArena.
Today’s TuttoSport goes a bit deeper into Juventus’ interest in the ex-AC Milan player.
The newspaper appear quite certain that a deal with Newcastle United will be too difficult for the Bianconeri. This is largely because they’ve been put off by the Magpies’ ‘terrifying’ demands. Subsequently, the Turin club are considering Ederson as an alternative.
Besides, Arsenal are interested and this would create further problems for Luciano Spalletti’s side.
Tonali remains a ‘dream’ in Turin but Ederson is seen as an opportunity that simply can’t be passed up. He won’t just cost less in transfer fee, the Brazilian is likely to demand a wage of about €2m per season. That fits Juve’s wage bill, with Tonali’s salary expected to be much higher.
This could come in as a big advantage for Arsenal. Moreover, the Italian press has constantly pushed Juve as a suitor for the 25-year-old. This is probably the first time that a move is being directly dismissed.
