After Newcastle purchased Tonali in his place, a new contract offer for a £70 million star is expected.

Sandro Tonali was not the only player Newcastle United was interested in this summer before making him their star midfield acquisition.

 

Numerous other players were rumored to be moving to Tyneside. Before joining Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, respectively, Dominik Szoboszlai and James Maddison were under consideration, and Lucas Paqueta was also brought up.

Newcastle chose Tonali instead, making him their second-most costly acquisition to date. Although his existence on Tyneside has had a rough beginning, it is certain that he will grow into an incredible star in black and white.

 

Toon officials will be pleased with their choice to give the 23-year-old Italian priority because of this.

 

However, despite missing out on a summer transfer away, another player that Newcastle was interested in before Tonali is now likely to receive a contract extension.

After interest from Newcastle, Eberechi Eze will discuss a new deal with Crystal Palace.

The Athletic claims that Crystal Palace will begin contract negotiations with Eberechi Eze to extend his spell at Selhurst Park.

 

During the summer transfer season, the 25-year-old was said to be leaving the Eagles, with Pep Guardiola attempting to lure him to Manchester City. He tried to sign Matheus Nunes from Wolves but was unable to.

 

However, Manchester City was not the only team to consider Eze. The Evening Standard said that before going all-out for Tonali, Newcastle contemplated making a move for the former QPR player.

Given that Palace values their top player at £70 million, as the Evening Standard highlighted in their August article, Eze would really have cost Newcastle more money.

 

As a result, Newcastle has acquired a person for less money who is younger, better, and has greater potential. amazing business.

 

But Eze would have also been a hit at St James’ Park, and Eddie Howe evidently admires him because Newcastle had previously expressed interest in signing him.
