Nothing came of it, with Tonali remaining at St James&#8217; Park, but it was certainly interesting to see his name circulated. <\/p>\n<p>Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givemesport.com\/video\/fabrizio-romano-deadline-day-updates-tonali-to-arsenal-latest-at-spurs-mateta-medical\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tonali&#8217;s situation is &#8216;one to watch&#8217;<\/a> in the summer transfer window, with a host of clubs admiring the midfielder. The Magpies won&#8217;t want to lose Tonali after sticking by him through some difficult times over the last few years, but a move from a club such as Man City could make things difficult.<\/p>\n<p>                        Tonali Spotted With Guardiola Amid Man City Interest<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"1650\" height=\"826\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"sandro tonali\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/sandro-tonali.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/sandro-tonali.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>According to journalist McGrath, Tonali was spotted in &#8216;deep conversation&#8217; with Guardiola after their Carabao Cup clash on Wednesday night. The journalist also confirms that Tonali is a player of interest to Manchester City as they look at potential long-term midfield options. <\/p>\n<p>What happens with Tonali in the future remains to be seen, but persistent links to other clubs won&#8217;t be welcomed by Newcastle. The Magpies hold all the cards in the situation, with Tonali having a contract that runs until 2029, with the option of an additional year, so it certainly won&#8217;t be easy for clubs like Man City to prise him away from St James&#8217; Park in the near future. <\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"440\" height=\"364\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/manchester-united-co-owner-sir-jim-ratcliffe.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/manchester-united-co-owner-sir-jim-ratcliffe.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    Related<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.givemesport.com\/man-united-tipped-sandro-tonali-deal-chelsea-arsenal\/\" title=\"Man Utd Tipped to Sign \u00a3100m Star Ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal After Contact Made\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tMan Utd Tipped to Sign \u00a3100m Star Ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal After Contact Made<br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">The Red Devils have been urged to complete a deal for the Champions League star<\/p>\n<p>                        Newcastle Can&#8217;t be Selling Tonali<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"1650\" height=\"826\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sandro Tonali in action for Newcastle United against Manchester United in the Premier League\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/sandro-tonali-in-action-for-newcastle-united-against-manchester-united-in-the-premier-league.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/sandro-tonali-in-action-for-newcastle-united-against-manchester-united-in-the-premier-league.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If Newcastle want to progress, they can&#8217;t continue selling their best players.
