"A report emerged on deadline day suggesting the Premier League leaders were exploring a move for Tonali, but Newcastle said the midfielder was not for sale and that there had been no contact. Tonali's agent, Giuseppe Riso, denied speaking to Arsenal but, in an interview with Sky Italia, he was asked about the club's valuation and said "that's something we will do in March or April if Newcastle are open to it"."
"Howe spoke to Tonali on Monday and said the Italian was "absolutely focused on the here and now and playing for us" as the holders prepare for Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Manchester City. "His only focus was on Manchester City and trying to win that game so there's absolutely no issue with Sandro himself," he said. "He's very happy and committed so I find it difficult to talk about things I don't know too much about.""
Eddie Howe says Sandro Tonali is very happy and committed at Newcastle United amid Arsenal transfer speculation. Newcastle insisted Tonali is not for sale and that no contact had been made. Tonali's agent, Giuseppe Riso, denied speaking to Arsenal but said any valuation discussions 'is something we will do in March or April if Newcastle are open to it.' Howe said Tonali is focused on playing in upcoming matches, including the Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester City. Tonali joined from AC Milan in 2023 on a five-year deal, served a 10-month betting ban, then signed a one-year extension. Newcastle hold an option to extend his contract by 12 months to 2030.
