"We'll evaluate and decide what to do in the summer. These transfer discussions will take place later. We'll see how the season ends and then we'll decide what to do. There's no preference at the moment. It's still early. What we're saying today won't apply tomorrow. Newcastle couldn't let him go now, and there's no point in moving, especially since Sandro is very attached to the club."
"Interestingly, despite the surprise talk about Tonali and Arsenal towards the end of the January transfer window, it's not yet been confirmed if Mikel Arteta's side are actually interested. AFC already have Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi as their first choice in that area of midfield, with Christian Norgaard as backup. It's hard to see Tonali starting over Rice or Zubimendi that often, while he also surely wouldn't settle for a backup role like Norgaard has had."
Giuseppe Riso, Sandro Tonali's agent, indicated that discussions about the midfielder's future could occur in the summer. Tonali was offered to Arsenal on Deadline Day, but timing prevented a deal. Newcastle are reluctant to let Tonali leave and the player is committed to helping the club reach the Champions League. Riso said representatives will evaluate the situation after the season and then decide, with no current preference. Arsenal already have Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi as first-choice midfielders and Christian Norgaard as backup, which would limit Tonali's opportunities and likely rule out a permanent backup role.
