Chelsea FC is reportedly eyeing a summer transfer for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, following Manchester United's withdrawal from the race. With Xabi Alonso set to take over as manager in July, the club aims to strengthen its squad after a disappointing 10th place finish in the Premier League last season. Former Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has expressed his desire for the club to pursue Tonali, who has been linked with Arsenal as well. The Italian international has a hefty price tag of around £100 million, which has caused interest to wane among potential suitors. Chelsea FC may only enter the bidding for Tonali if Enzo Fernandez secures a move away from Stamford Bridge, with Real Madrid and Manchester City showing interest in the Argentine. Di Matteo believes Tonali would be an ideal replacement for Fernandez, enhancing Chelsea's midfield options significantly. As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Chelsea FC's strategies and potential signings to revamp the squad for the upcoming season.
