Newcastle United have held dialogue with representatives of AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali via an intermediary.
Tonali has been looked at as a solution to bolster Newcastle's midfield options in the number 6 role as Eddie Howe looks to get Bruno Guimaraes further up the pitch next season. Multiple reports in Italy last night claimed that there had been a £50million bid from Newcastle but Toon sources did not stand that up with the only indication that there is an interest in the player.
Tonali is on duty with Italy Under-21s soon in the European Championships in Georgia and Romania. It remains to be seen whether at 23 he wants to quit Milan with the midfielder a boyhood fan of the club and looking to play in the Champions League next season.
