According to a source, Paris Saint-Germain has joined Juventus in the competition for Sandro Tonali and is prepared to make an offer to Newcastle United. We also learn Ross Wilson's thoughts on the Italy international midfield player.

When healthy and available, Tonali is among the first names on manager Eddie Howe's teamsheet and has established himself as one of Newcastle's greatest and most vital players. Tonali, who has started seven Premier League games and two Champions League games for Newcastle this season, is determined to repay the team for believing in him following his 10-month football ban for breaking betting regulations.

The 25-year-old, who cost £55 million (€63 million, $73 million) to join Newcastle from AC Milan in 2023, became the most expensive Italian midfield player in history. During the 2024–25 season, he made 45 appearances for the Magpies, scoring six goals and dishing out three assists.

The Italian media have speculated that Juventus is interested in Tonali, and now PSG is reportedly in the running for the Newcastle player.

TuttoJuve has stated that PSG and the Bianconeri are "ready to attack" for the Italian star, despite Juventus' interest in Tonali.

The Juventus-focused news source reported on PSG's "surprise bid" for Tonali, stating that the Champions League and Ligue 1 winners from the previous season think he is "a wonderful match" in Luis Enrique's lineup.

According to the article, PSG is "unwilling to give up" on the possibility of signing Tonali, despite competition from Juventus."



Newcastle's position on Sandro Tonali, according to sources

Tonali is an important member of Newcastle's team and one of the Premier League's top midfielders.

Tonali, who has a contract with Newcastle through the summer of 2028, was hailed by Manchester United great Paul Scholes as the Premier League's greatest midfield player this season.

Newcastle has made a name for itself among the best and earned a spot in the Champions League this season under Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF).

Liverpool's ability to complete a deal for Alexander Isak only on the last day of the summer transfer window is proof that Newcastle, which won the Carabao Cup the previous season, do not typically sell its top players cheaply.

According to sources who spoke to Dean Jones, Wilson, Newcastle's new sports director, wants to offer the Italian star a new contract and has no plans to trade Tonali.

"It has long been known that Ross Wilson would be joining Newcastle, and now that it is official, they can start more effectively planning for what follows next," Jones stated.

I have been informed that Sandro Tonali's future will be one of the topics discussed.

Although he has been connected to returning to Italy, I have some doubts about the likelihood of that happening.

The first is the money aspect; I do not think the clubs listed could afford him.

Additionally, I believe he will be eligible for a new deal. In order to obtain him a new contract by the conclusion of the season, I anticipate that situation to start to open up.

"If they could get him extended, that would be a huge moment."

According to the i Paper, Tonali and his agents are grateful for Newcastle's support during his time away from the pitch, which implies that the midfield player will not be actively looking to leave St James' Park anytime soon.

DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.

The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.

"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."

Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.

Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.

No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.

Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.

Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.

Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
