Newcastle United must pay ‘Sandro Tonali money’ to sign 18 y/o England wonderkid

The winger is reportedly attracting interest from a number of Premier League teams, including Newcastle United. The 18-year-old has offered a rare highlight despite the Saints having a dismal season with only six points earned. Despite just playing in one Championship game the previous season, he has been given the opportunity to excel in the top division. A club that has produced players like Theo Walcott, Gareth Bale, and Alan Shearer thinks they have the next English talent.

There are rumors of a possible transfer involving Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur, and RB Leipzig. With just over two years remaining on his current contract, Dibling can play as a No. 10 or on either flank. Should Southampton decline as anticipated, any extension would provide a significant wage boost. However, Dibling might benefit more from staying in the Premier League and looking for fresh opportunities. Eddie Howe, a manager who has developed homegrown talent into an England international, is the Magpies’ secret weapon.Tino Livramento, a former Southampton player, Anthony Gordon, and Lewis Hall all made their first appearances for the Three Lions as Toon players.

But according to Sky Sports, Newcastle has to spend an incredible £55 million to get the young player before the deadline of February 3. To put things in perspective, the Magpies paid the same amount in 2023 to sign Sandro Tonali.Dibling will not play this weekend versus United because he is now out for up to six weeks. Newcastle is unlikely to match such expectations due to a tight FFP/PSR scenario, but they might re-engage in the summer.
