"Newcastle's disappointing 2025-26 season went from bad to worse this month as their humiliating Champions League exit at the hands of Barcelona was followed up by a devastating home defeat to Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby."
"Champions League qualification is already looking beyond Eddie Howe and his men as they lie seven points adrift of fifth-placed Liverpool, with a top-five finish set to be enough to guarantee a spot in Europe's elite club competition next term."
"A report last week suggested that the Italian has a 'gentlemen's agreement' to be able to explore a move away from St James' Park this summer should they fail to qualify for Europe."
"GIVEMESPORT senior reporter Fabrizio Romano revealed in recent days that Manchester United are 'working hard' on a deal to sign Tonali, with a separate report saying that the Red Devils will make a formal approach to Newcastle for him at the end of the season."
Newcastle United's 2025-26 season has been disappointing, marked by a humiliating Champions League exit and a derby defeat to Sunderland. This has left them struggling in 12th place, seven points behind fifth-placed Liverpool, making European qualification unlikely. If Sandro Tonali departs due to a gentlemen's agreement allowing him to leave if Europe is not secured, Newcastle is targeting Juventus player Khephren Thuram as a potential replacement. Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Tonali, complicating Newcastle's situation further.
