Newcastle United are expecting to wrap up the signing of Sandro Tonali in the coming days following Italy's surprise early exit from the under-21s European Championships. The AC Milan star has already agreed terms on a six-year contract at St James' Park ahead of a transfer worth at least £55 million.
Attention will soon turn to Newcastle's next senior transfer move, with talks ongoing for Southampton full-back Tino Livramento. Eddie Howe has targeted 'elite' additions with the return of Champions League football this season, with another midfielder expected to be on the radar.
Speculation continues to link a host of names with a switch to Tyneside, with certain rumours far more credible than others. Newcastle's owners have proven they will not be tempted by superstar names, while Financial Fair Play and UEFA's own sustainability regulations continue to limit their business.
