To prevent a repeat of the Isak debacle, Newcastle has set Tonali's price at £100 million—no negotiations below that.

Per a recent update from UK source *The Chronicle*, Newcastle could part ways with their 26-year-old Italian midfielder Tonali in the upcoming summer window, but they are adamant about the price—any bid under £100 million will be rejected, and player discussions will not be initiated.

Tonali joined Newcastle from AC Milan in the summer of 2023 for €60.8 million. During his suspension, the club stood firmly behind him, resulting in a very harmonious relationship between the player and the team. Tonali's contract with Newcastle runs until 2028, giving the club the upper hand in any transfer. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €80 million, and last season he made 53 appearances across all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 7 assists.

Newcastle wants to avoid a repeat of the Isak fiasco from last summer, when Isak went on strike and refused to train in an attempt to join Liverpool. This time, the club's stance is clear: if an offer exceeds £100 million, they will enter negotiations; otherwise, they will not sell, making the situation transparent for both the player and potential buyers.

Personally, if Gordon's total valuation exceeds €80 million, then Tonali's tactical importance is clearly higher, so Newcastle's asking price of £100 million for Tonali is entirely reasonable. The team has two key midfielders—Guimarães and Tonali—who are coveted by top Premier League clubs. However, with no European competition next season, it will be difficult for Newcastle to retain genuine stars.
