Juventus considering using three players in outrageous swap deal for Sandro Tonali and it'd transform Newcastle

Juventus are considering the inclusion of three players as part of a swap deal offer for Newcastle star Sandro Tonali, a new report has claimed.

Tonali has been one of Newcastle's key players this season, helping them to win the Carabao Cup.

On Wednesday, he scored a goal from an incredibly tight angle in the Magpies' 2-1 win over Brentford.

The Italian midfielder joined Newcastle from AC Milan in the summer of 2023, though missed the majority of his first season after receiving a 10-month ban by the Italian FA - which extended worldwide - for breaches of betting rules.

Now, the 25-year-old has received transfer interest from a different Serie A club.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juve want to bring Tonali back to Italy this summer should they qualify for next season's Champions League.

The Old Lady are currently fifth in the Serie A table, though are only one point behind fourth-placed Bologna who occupy the final Champions League qualification spot.

It is claimed that Juve are willing to offer three players to Newcastle in return for Tonali's signature.

The first of those is Douglas Luiz, whom Juve signed from Aston Villa last summer along with his partner Alisha Lehmann.

The Brazilian has been in a fringe player in the Italian side's squad this season, however, having made just 15 Serie A appearances amid injury issues.

Top goalscorer Dusan Vlahovic is another player that could be offered to Newcastle, especially if Alexander Isak leaves the club.

The Serbian only has nine Serie A goals this season but scored 33 goals in 75 appearances over the previous two-and-a-half campaigns.

Isak dominates Vlahovic in most key attacking stats, via Twitter account @D_DataDetective, but there are areas in which there is little to separate the pair.

And the third player listed is Italy centre-back Federico Gatti, who has become a key player for Juve since signing for the club from Frosinone in 2022.

The Italian has slotted in to spearhead Juve's back three following the retirements or departures of Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini in recent years.

Gazzetta claim that Newcastle already made a bid for Gatti in the summer, and the two sides have a good relationship through their negotiations for Lloyd Kelly, who moved from Tyneside to Juventus in January.
