Pjanic Backs Tonali Pursuit as Juventus Keep Long-Term Watch on Newcastle Midfielder

Newcastle signal no intention to sell, prompting Juventus to wait.

Overview

  • Miralem Pjanic publicly urged Juventus to move for Sandro Tonali, calling him the best Italian midfielder and an ideal fit for their engine room.
  • Juventus have made no formal approach and are monitoring the situation, viewing Tonali as a long-term target rather than an immediate acquisition.
  • Newcastle regard Tonali as a cornerstone of their project and are starting from a position of strength with no plans to entertain a sale.
  • Sky Sport Italia, as cited in Italian reports, identified Tonali as Juventus’s top target for the summer of 2026.
  • Juventus’ recent surge under Luciano Spalletti—seven wins in eight and a spot just one point off fourth—adds sporting context to their midfield planning.
