Di Marzio: Newcastle try for €100m+ Milan star after agreeing Tonali deal

Sandro Tonali is not the only AC Milan player in Newcastle’s sights as they are now interested in signing Theo Hernandez too, a report claims.

Gianluca Di Marzio writes that after finding an agreement for Tonali, Newcastle want to go shopping again in Italy and the two names that have ended up in the sights of the Magpies are Theo Hernandez and Federico Chiesa.

As far as the Milan full-back is concerned, they know that the operation is extremely complicated also given the interest from Atletico Madrid, plus the price tag which would be over €100m.

Theo played 45 games for Milan last season across all competitions, racking up four goals and five assists and continuing to be virtually undroppable.

Regarding Chiesa, Newcastle asked Juventus for information on him moreso than Dusan Vlahovic, but Aston Villa are also keen on the former Fiorentina man and would be willing to pay €60m to sign him.
