Tonali transfer latest: Man United cool interest for one reason, as Arsenal call confirmed

Fabrizio Romano confirms that Arsenal have resumed talks for Sandro Tonali in recent days, while Manchester United directors feel the Italian midfielder is too expensive.

Italy international Tonali is expected to leave Newcastle in the summer, even if the Magpies have reportedly set his asking price at € 115m, according to Italian sources.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provides the latest updates on the Italian midfielder’s situation, reporting, after TMW, that Arsenal have recently resumed talks to sign the ex-Milan star.

The Gunners have sounded out Tonali’s availability through some calls in recent days, Romano confirms, after the fresh Premier League champions already showed their interest during the January transfer window.

Tonali reportedly remains an option for Manchester City as well, even if their priority is currently Elliot Anderson.

Manchester United have also been linked with a move for Tonali, but according to Romano, the Red Devils have now cooled their interest in the 26-year-old, as they believe the overall cost of the deal, including salary and transfer fee, would be too high.

The Red Devils have already secured midfield reinforcement for next season as they are preparing to welcome Atalanta midfielder Ederson for €45m including add-ons.
