Tonali has become a crucial part of Newcastle United\u2019s squad in the Premier League and is viewed as one of their most valuable assets.

The Italian international also appears content in his current surroundings, which further reduces the likelihood of a move.

In contrast, Florentino Lu\u00eds of Benfica has emerged as a more realistic and financially viable option.<\/p>\n<figure><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-320x203.jpg.webp 320w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-414x263.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-630x401.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-768x488.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-770x490.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-900x572.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-940x598.jpg.webp 940w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1.jpg.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1101px) 650px, (min-width:850px) 476px, (min-width:646px) 600px, 300px\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sandro Tonali during a Newcastle match\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-320x203.jpg 320w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-414x263.jpg 414w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-630x401.jpg 630w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-768x488.jpg 768w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-770x490.jpg 770w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-900x572.jpg 900w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1-940x598.jpg 940w,https:\/\/icdn.juvefc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/newcastle-united-fc-v-crystal-palace-fc-premier-league-1.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1101px) 650px, (min-width:850px) 476px, (min-width:646px) 600px, 300px\" ><\/picture><figcaption>Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"1822\">Florentino Lu\u00eds Considered a More Attainable Target<\/h2>\n<p class data-start=\"1824\" data-end=\"2156\">Florentino Lu\u00eds earns around 2.5 million euros per season and could be available for approximately 30 million euros, making him a far more accessible target for the Bianconeri.
