Newcastle United is gearing up for a summer challenge to keep midfielder Sandro Tonali amid interest from Real Madrid, who are reportedly preparing a £69m bid. Despite a recent setback against Aston Villa, Newcastle still aims for a top-five finish. Tonali, regarded as Newcastle's second-most expensive signing, has thrived in the team's pressing style this season. His strong performance, particularly in ball recoveries where he ranks highly in Europe, makes him a valuable target for the La Liga giants. The allure of Real Madrid could complicate Newcastle's efforts to retain him.
One key aspect of Sandro Tonali's game is his impressive ball recoveries, ranking in the 93rd percentile among players in Europe's top five leagues.
Newcastle United's midfield has turned into a finely tuned pressing machine, particularly with the mix of talents like Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes, and Sandro Tonali.
