Newcastle Rejects Juventus' Bid for Sandro Tonali

Newcastle United has declined Juventus' offer to acquire midfielder Sandro Tonali during the January transfer window, expressing satisfaction with his current performance.

Newcastle Rejects Juventus' Bid for Sandro Tonali

Sandro Tonali, the Italian midfielder who joined Newcastle United from AC Milan last summer, has become a key player for the Magpies. Despite a suspension last season due to betting violations, Tonali has returned to form, featuring in four of Newcastle's last five matches and scoring twice against Brentford in the EFL Cup quarter-finals.

Recently, reports from Corriere dello Sport indicated that Juventus was preparing a €60 million bid to bring Tonali back to Serie A during the January transfer window. However, Newcastle's management has reportedly rejected this approach, stating that Tonali is not for sale at this time. They are pleased with his contributions and consider him integral to their plans for the remainder of the season.

This decision means that Juventus will need to look elsewhere to strengthen their midfield in the upcoming transfer window, or potentially revisit their interest in Tonali during the summer, depending on Newcastle's stance and the player's performance in the intervening months.
