"I don't think so. That would surprise me. But lots of things happen without my knowledge. As far as I'm aware though we've got a player that's an outstanding footballer, an outstanding person. Sandro's very happy here. He's got a great relationship with me and his teammates and he seems really, really, happy within himself. I don't see an issue, but I'm not in control of everything."
"Given that Tonali is contracted until 2029 with an option to extend by a year, he would command a high fee, leaving Newcastle, theoretically at least, in a strong position. The same cannot be said of their hopes of reaching a third Carabao Cup final in four years. The holders travel to Manchester City on Wednesday for the semi-final second leg, trailing 2-0."
Eddie Howe admitted he is not in control of Sandro Tonali's future but believes the Italy midfielder remains happy at Newcastle. Transfer speculation included quickly dismissed suggestions of Arsenal interest and concerns about potential agent-driven approaches. Howe met Tonali after fearing a repeat of the Isak situation and found no apparent hidden agenda. Tonali's contract runs until 2029 with an option for a further year, meaning any move would require a significant fee. Newcastle face a tough Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Manchester City, needing to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit while missing key midfielders.
