Real Madrid are reportedly considering a major move for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, with Xabi Alonso identifying the Italian as a potential long-term replacement for the recently departed duo Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. According to reports from Fichajes, Los Blancos view Tonali as an ideal fit for their evolving midfield setup. Tonali, 24, joined Newcastle from AC Milan in the summer of 2023 for a club-record 70 million.

Many criticised the Red Devils for failing to bring a new midfielder to the club in the summer, given their failed pursuit of Carlos Baleba at Brighton, despite the 21-year-old star thought to have been keen on the switch. With Casemiro having only 12 months left on his Old Trafford contract, it is more than likely that Manchester United will need at least two new midfielders next summer.
