# Sandro Tonali Manchester City Enquiry Puts Newcastle’s £100m Valuation Back In Focus

**Manchester City have reportedly made fresh enquiries for Sandro Tonali, putting Newcastle United’s £100million valuation back in focus as Tottenham wait on a follow-up bid.**

The Italy midfielder has already been chased by Spurs this summer, but City’s renewed interest gives Enzo Maresca another major midfield decision after the club’s big-money move for Elliot Anderson.

[Chronicle Live’s Lee Ryder reports that Manchester City have made fresh enquiries for Tonali](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-transfers-sandro-tonali-34210324), with Tottenham yet to return with a follow-up offer after Newcastle rejected an £80million bid. The report adds that Newcastle want closer to £100million for the former AC Milan midfielder.

That makes this more than a simple market check. City are already reshaping their midfield, and Tonali would represent a different kind of control signing for Maresca.

[Read Man City has already covered how City considered Tonali after Newcastle rejected Tottenham’s bid](https://readmancity.com/2026/06/22/manchester-city-sandro-tonali-newcastle-tottenham-bid-2/), but fresh enquiries suggest the conversation has not gone away.

## Tonali Gives Manchester City A Different Midfield Option

City’s midfield rebuild has already moved quickly. [Elliot Anderson has passed his Manchester City medical ahead of a £116million move](https://readmancity.com/2026/06/29/elliot-anderson-manchester-city-medical-116m-transfer/), giving Maresca a powerful new option for the next cycle.

Tonali would not simply duplicate that profile. He is more of a rhythm-setter and tempo controller, with the defensive intensity to help City manage transitions before games become stretched.

That matters after Bernardo Silva’s exit and the continuing need to support Rodri. [Read Man City has already assessed how Rodri’s long-term uncertainty and Bernardo’s departure changed the midfield job](https://readmancity.com/2026/06/26/elliot-anderson-man-city-transfer-stress-test/), and Tonali fits the same wider rebuild conversation.

The issue is cost. Newcastle do not need to sell cheaply, and a £100million valuation would force City to decide whether Tonali is a priority or a pressure point in the market.

Tottenham’s delay gives City a window, but not a guarantee. If Maresca wants Tonali, City will need to move with clarity before Newcastle turn rival interest into a full bidding war.
