Tonali’s Transfer Fee Too High For United
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Man United are currently ‘cold’ on a possible deal for the Italian since the wage and amount being demanded are ‘currently viewed as too high.’
Romano said on his YouTube channel: “In the case of Tonali, the appreciation remains, but at this stage the deal is not considered advanced or particularly concrete. The overall cost of the operation, including both salary and transfer fee, is currently viewed as too high.
“As things stand today, Man Utd are relatively cold on the possibility of signing Tonali.
“Tonali could be an option for Manchester City, although their current focus is on Elliot Anderson. Anderson is also highly appreciated by Man Utd, who continue to monitor the situation.
“Tonali is attracting interest from several clubs. Arsenal have made enquiries in recent days and remain involved in the race.
“There is a possibility that more clubs could enter the competition for Tonali, making this a situation that could become very interesting over the coming weeks.”
