Sandro Tonali’s status as a Newcastle United player appears to be in serious doubt, if new reports are to be believed.
Tonali, who was signed by the Magpies in 2023 has attracted serious attention from Juventus.
Reports from Tuttojuve claim that Juve are preparing a move to bring the Italian midfielder back to Serie A, just two seasons after his arrival in the Premier League.
According to the Italian media outlet, the Bianconeri are even considering an enticing deal that would include Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic and Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz as part of their player-plus-cash proposal.
If Juventus pushes through with a concrete offer, Newcastle may be forced to make a major decision. How they respond could shape their midfield for years to come.
Tonali started 28 league games, and without him the midfield looked far weaker, but now, just as he’s hit his stride in England, Juve may tempt him back to Italy.

This isn’t the first time Serie A giants have turned their attention to the midfield maestro and with Tonali reportedly open to a move back, Newcastle are already preparing for life without him.
Newcastle identify Matteo Guendouzi as Tonali replacement
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, relayed by Sport Witness, Newcastle are in pole position to sign Matteo Guendouzi from Lazio.
The Frenchman, a former Arsenal talent, has enjoyed a breakout season in Italy, and could be a positive addition to Newcastle’s midfield, should he sign.
Valued at €40 million [$45m], Guendouzi fits Eddie Howe’s high-tempo midfield blueprint. Scouts rate him highly, with talent expert Jacek Kulig calling him a “fantastic signing” even before his Lazio rise.
