Sandro Tonali Newcastle United exit ‘very likely’ - according to player’s agent
It comes after repeated comments from Tonali’s agent Giuseppe Riso linking his client with a move away from the club.
Riso recently said in the Italian media that a summer move away from Newcastle is ‘very likely’.
Now, Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has added more fuel to the speculation surrounding the Newcastle midfielder by claiming he would be open to a move with Manchester United and Arsenal interested.

“Man United already confirmed their interest to the player's camp, so some contact already took place between Manchester United and Sandro Tonali's camp.
