Newcastle United want to reunite Sandro Tonali with £33m star who’s ‘no longer untouchable’

Newcastle United’s search for a new midfielder could reunite Sandro Tonali with a familiar face.

After three frustrating transfer windows with very little business, Newcastle United are back in a position where they can spend this summer.

Paul Mitchell wants to improve three areas before the start of the 2025/26 season, including a new right winger which has been the priority position for the past year.

Mitchell has been unable to make his stamp on this Newcastle side until now because of Profit and Sustainability Rules eating away at Newcastle’s budget.

But with a £73m PSR boost due in the summer, there should be plenty of financial flexibility, which will allow Mitchell to also look at strengthening Newcastle’s midfield.

Newcastle United interested in Hakan Calhanoglu

Eddie Howe believes central midfield is Newcastle’s strongest position, but that could change in the summer when sales are made.

Sean Longstaff could leave Newcastle this summer and would require a replacement. It seems one target Newcastle have their eyes on is Hakan Calhanoglu.

A report earlier this week claimed Newcastle made an enquiry about Calhanoglu.
