Newcastle has never stopped believing in Sandro Tonali. The Premier League club saw him as a long-term cornerstone when he arrived, and that belief has only grown stronger.
Under Eddie Howe, Tonali has become a crucial part of the midfield unit. His presence brings rhythm, structure, and determination. Supporters at St. James’ Park appreciate his intensity and leadership. Many fans struggle to imagine the team without him.

Tonali’s contributions last season confirmed his value. The Italian midfielder played 45 matches in all competitions, logging more than 3,300 minutes. He scored six goals and provided three assists.
Besides numbers, he showed tactical intelligence and strong work ethic. His performances helped Newcastle maintain a competitive level both domestically and in Europe. At only 25 years old, he is entering his prime years, making him even more central to the club’s ambitions.
However, even with this strong relationship, the player himself has not committed to spending his entire career in England reports TuttoJuve.
Tonali speaks cautiously about his future

After Newcastle’s Champions League victory against Athletic Club, Tonali was asked about his long-term future. His response was thoughtful and measured.
“It is a difficult question,” Tonali explained. “In football, you must think season by season. I do not want to say I will stay here ten years and then leave after two, three, four, or five.”

His words do not suggest immediate plans to leave. They simply show realism. Football careers can change quickly. Clubs change strategies. Players develop new goals. Tonali appears aware of these possibilities and prefers honesty over empty declarations.

Newcastle, meanwhile, does not seem alarmed. The club maintains strong confidence in both his ability and his commitment to the project. Eddie Howe continues to view him as a central figure for the present and future. Tonali has also shown respect and gratitude toward the club and fans.
For now, his focus remains on performing well and improving further. Yet he does not close the door to new opportunities one day. Any potential future transfer would depend on timing, ambition, and circumstances.
What is clear today is that Tonali and Newcastle still share mutual trust. The coming seasons will reveal whether that bond strengthens further or evolves toward a new chapter.
