Newcastle United has been linked with potential moves for Italian midfielders Davide Frattesi (Inter) and Nicolò Fagioli (Fiorentina) following its agreement to sell Sandro Tonali. Multiple reports say Newcastle has reached an agreement for Tonali to join Tottenham Hotspur in a deal reported to be worth €116 million, described as a club record. In the wake of that sale, Newcastle’s recruitment focus reportedly returns to Italy, with Frattesi and Fagioli named as possible targets.
The reports frame the interest as part of Newcastle’s plan to reshape its midfield options after losing Tonali, while exploring available alternatives in Serie A. Neither outlet provides confirmation of bids, contract terms, or whether Newcastle has made formal offers to either player. The claims also do not specify the structure of any prospective deal beyond the general idea that Newcastle is monitoring or considering the two midfielders as potential replacements or additions.
