Premier League
The Juventus from Turin is planning a significant move in the upcoming transfer market: acquiring the services of Sandro Tonali, the current player of Newcastle United. The Italian midfielder has already overcome the FIFA sanction imposed on him and now wants to regain his importance on the field; the Bianconeri see him as a great signing option for this market.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Tonali could become a key piece for the team's new sports project. The player's profile, with outstanding recovery ability and a privileged game vision, fits perfectly with the playing style sought by the Juventus coach. His knowledge of Italian football and long-term potential make him a strategic priority for the sports management.
However, the operation will not be easy. Newcastle paid close to 70 million euros for Tonali in the summer of 2023, setting a high economic barrier for any negotiation. Aware of this difficulty, the Juventus executives are considering the possibility of including players in the deal to reduce the financial burden.
They would use Vlahovic as a bargaining chip to lower the operation's cost
One of the names that has emerged as a possible bargaining chip is Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian forward, who joined Juve in 2022 as one of the top promises in European football, has not fully established himself in the club as expected. His market value and potential could be attractive to the English team, in need of more offensive presence after an irregular season.
Another option Juventus is considering to ease Tonali's arrival would be to offer Douglas Luiz, recently acquired from Aston Villa, or even the young Nicolo Savona, one of the Bianconeri's academy promises. However, these options seem less likely compared to the impact a direct swap with Vlahovic could have.
Beyond the economic aspect, the interest in Tonali also responds to a strategy of Italianization of the squad, something historically valued by Juventus. The opportunity to have a young, Italian midfielder with international experience is seen as an ideal chance to consolidate the project in the medium term.

The Serie A is currently undergoing a transformation, and clubs like Juventus do not want to fall behind. Adding a player like Tonali would not only be a sporting coup but also a move of great media and symbolic value. Furthermore, the fact that Tonali could return to the field right at the beginning of the next season makes him a signing for the present, not just the future.
It is worth noting that Juventus is aware that Newcastle could lose Alexander Isak in this market. For this reason, they offer Vlahovic as a bargaining chip for Tonali, so the English club would incorporate a reliable forward in case the Swede decides to leave St James's Park.
