Manchester United have put Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali high on their shortlist to replace Casemiro during the summer transfer window, according to The Telegraph.

The Italy international’s future is uncertain with the Magpies amid their unconvincing form in the Premier League. The club are 12th in the standings with 33 points, 10 adrift of a potential Champions League spot.

The Magpies may have to win the competition to qualify next season. Amidst this, his agent Giuseppe Riso has talked up a possible exit. The midfielder’s future could be assessed during the summer.

The Telegraph claim that Tonali is high on United’s shortlist to replace Casemiro, who is confirmed to depart when his contract expires at the end of June.

United are not alone in the player’s pursuit. Arsenal were linked on transfer deadline day this month, while Manchester City have tracked him in the past.

Newcastle signed the talented midfielder from AC Milan for £55 million in the summer of 2023, and it could take at least £100m to prise him away this year.

Tonali wants the guarantee of Champions League football at his next club.
