Manchester City have entered the race to sign Sandro Tonali, with Enzo Maresca keen to make an immediate impact as the club's new manager. The FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders have maintained their interest in the Newcastle midfielder.
What's the latest on Tonali's transfer?
Sources close to Tonali's representatives have described Man City as serious contenders to prise him away from Tyneside.
Why does Manchester City want Tonali?
Tonali has agreed a wage structure in principle with Spurs worth £275,000-per-week on a lucrative six-year contract, which would also see his agency GR Sports pocket a 10% cut of the fee - terms that Man City could comfortably match.
