Tottenham have been encouraged to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City for Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali, with Newcastle's asking price for the 26-year-old expected to be about £100m. The race for Tonali, who has impressed since joining Newcastle from AC Milan, is set to intensify as the summer transfer window approaches.
Real Madrid are plotting an £80m swoop for Manchester City's Portugal centre-back Ruben Dias, 29, according to reports. The move would add to an already formidable defensive line at the Bernabéu, with Dias widely regarded as one of Europe's top defenders.
