Chelsea is reportedly keen on acquiring Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali, a 25-year-old Italian midfielder who’s flourishing at St James’ Park.
Tonali’s Premier League experience and impressive performances – starting 20 of 23 games this season – make him an attractive target for the Blues.
Chelsea’s interest comes as they seek midfield reinforcements, with injuries to Romeo Lavia and Dario Essugo, and Andrey Santos’ struggles under Enzo Maresca.

Despite having Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea wants more depth.
While Tonali’s contract runs until 2029, Chelsea might delay a bid until summer, considering Newcastle’s strong negotiating position.
The Magpies are likely to demand a hefty price for their prized asset.
