Overview
- Multiple reports say Chelsea have a firm interest and are tracking Tonali for an end-of-season move rather than a January bid.
- Newcastle are described as reluctant to sell and would likely only consider offers at a substantial premium.
- Reports differ on contract length, with some stating Tonali is tied down until 2029 and others listing 2028, affecting negotiating leverage.
- Chelsea’s evaluation is driven by concerns over depth behind Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, with Romeo Lavia’s injuries and Andrey Santos’ role under scrutiny.
- Tonali’s strong campaign includes 25 appearances, four assists and solid defensive metrics, and outlets say clubs in Italy are monitoring his situation.
