Newcastle might turn to Manchester United to address the Sandro Tonali issue. Jim Ratcliffe’s potential investment in Manchester United could provide funds if INEOS finalizes its £1.4 billion deal for 25 percent of the club before the new year. This additional financial boost may allow for a move for Scott McTominay.
Tonali is facing a long-term ban for betting-related breaches, which is a significant setback for Newcastle. The club had invested £55 million to acquire Tonali in July, choosing him over McTominay. Tonali’s absence may lead Eddie Howe to explore the transfer market for a new midfielder during the winter transfer window to ensure the team remains competitive in midfield. Newcastle has high aspirations, aiming for back-to-back top-four finishes and a successful Champions League campaign, as evident from their recent performances.
