Manchester United will spend £100 million to sign the 25-year-old Italian international if they win the UEFA Cup

They are reportedly ready to spend £100 million to sign Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali if Manchester United wins the UEFA Cup. Manchester United will play the UEFA Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao on May 21.

25-year-old Tonali has been performing stably since joining Newcastle United from AC Milan in the summer of 2023. In 43 appearances in various competitions, the Italian player scored 6 goals and sent 3 assists. Four goals and two assists were scored in 34 Premier League appearances, with Eddie Howe's team ranked third with two games left.

According to the Rome Sports (via Football365), Tonali attracted interest from Juventus and Manchester United despite his contract with Newcastle United until 25 years. If the UEFA Cup is won, Manchester United will receive more than £10 million in prize money.

However, it remains to be seen whether the Italian international, who helped the Magpies win the British League Cup this season and is expected to return to the Champions League, will leave the team after the end of the season.

Tonali has also been a stable contributor to the Italian national team. Since winning the national team 1-0 away win over the United States in a friendly match in November 2018, he has scored 2 goals and sent 4 assists in 23 games.

What is the next step for Manchester United? Manchester United's season performance was very disappointing, especially in the Premier League, where they did not win seven games, lost five games, and dropped to 16th place.

They were also eliminated early in both domestic cup matches, but Manchester United's performance in Europe was surprisingly outstanding. They defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at home in the semi-finals and advanced to the UEFA Cup final with a total score of 7-1.

Now they have entered the All-British final, rivaling domestic powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur, who have performed poorly in the domestic league and ranked 17th in the standings.

Ruben Amorin's team will challenge Chelsea away on Friday (May 16) after losing 0-2 to West Ham United at home on the weekend. Five days later, he played against Tottenham in the Europa League final and then hosted Aston Villa at home on May 25 to end the season.
