After weeks of interest, multiple sources have confirmed that Real Madrid have tabled a formal bid for Sandro Tonali. The Newcastle midfielder has been attracting interest from across the league in recent weeks, with an opening offer marking a clear intent to get the deal done before the market intensifies. But it remains to be seen whether this opening bid will be enough to tempt a move away. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Paris SG and Juventus decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. So far this season, Real Madrid are steady at both ends (2.36 goals scored per game, 0.91 goals conceded per game). The role for Sandro Tonali would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Newcastle have also been linked with Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues, Elliot Anderson and Eduardo Camavinga while Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring Declan Rice, Virgil van Dijk and Etta Eyong.
