Tonali has the style and intelligence to integrate into a possession-oriented system, with Josep Guardiola&#8217;s side always looking for technical stability in midfield.<\/p>\n<p>His ability to play both as a deep controller and as a more advanced midfielder will give City valuable flexibility.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Newcastle_United_have_a_big_decision_to_make\"><\/span>Newcastle United have a big decision to make<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The biggest issue for both clubs is Newcastle&#8217;s negotiating position.<\/p>\n<p>Sky Sports reported earlier this year that Tonali&#8217;s contract has been extended until 2029 with an option for a further year. That means there is no pressure on Newcastle to sell cheap.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle remain in a strong position against the possibility of him leaving.<\/p>\n<p>For Arsenal and City, the interest is understandable.
