Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, Fabrizio Romano reports. The 26‑year‑old Italy international attracted interest after Spurs avoided relegation, and manager Roberto De Zerbi sees him as a creative boost. Tonali’s contract runs two more years, and Newcastle could fetch around £80 million before his deal expires.

Manchester City, Arsenal, Juventus and AC Milan also monitor Tonali, meaning the midfielder could command a premium fee. Chelsea meanwhile focus on Crystal Palace centre‑back Maxence Lacroix, a 26‑year‑old French international who helped Palace win the Europa Conference League and now features at the World Cup. Lacroix’s contract runs to 2029, but he is reportedly weighing options.

Real Madrid have shown interest in Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha, whose €70 million release clause activates next summer, while Bayern Munich move toward signing PSV striker Ismael Saibari for over €50 million after his World Cup form. Both clubs aim to reinforce squads ahead of a congested season, and the confirmed bids will force selling clubs to decide quickly.

Manchester United are eyeing West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville, a 24‑year‑old Dutch international praised for his performances despite the Hammers’ relegation, with a price tag near £50 million. United also monitor Newcastle’s pursuit of Osasuna winger Victor Muñoz, whose €40 million release clause has drawn interest from Roma and Bayer Leverkusen, indicating a busy transfer window.
