The report states that Pellegrini's talks over a new deal with Roma recently stalled, and that looks like being good news for Newcastle as they face potentially having to replace Tonali."
"As the data below shows, Tonali doesn't look quite as well-rounded as Arsenal's other midfielders Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi, though he has better stats for winning possession.

Pellegrini, 29, will become a free agent when his contract with Roma expires and has reportedly agreed to join Newcastle. Talks over a new deal with Roma recently stalled, leaving Pellegrini available on a free transfer. Newcastle may view Pellegrini as a potential replacement for Sandro Tonali if Tonali departs. Arsenal have been linked with Tonali, increasing the risk of his departure. Newcastle have also considered other midfield options such as Lyon's Tyler Morton.
