The Reds are said to have maintained contacts with the talented Italian international since his youth at Brescia.
And that could now lead to Liverpool making a move for Tonali, although he believes it could cost as much as £100million. Transfers.
Tonali shone during his time at St James’ Park and Newcastle will certainly be in no mood to sell the 25-year-old.
Sandro Tonali transfer to Liverpool – how realistic is it?
Liverpool may be linked with Tonali, and he is certainly a player they would like to have in an ideal world, but this story may need to be taken with a pinch of salt for a number of reasons.
First, Fichajes are quite speculative and it’s often worth waiting to see if others report similar information before you get an idea of how concrete the claims really are.
Even if LFC do want Tonali, convincing Newcastle to sell him after the Alexander Isak saga last summer could be a bit of a lost cause.
The Merseyside giants eventually signed the Sweden international from the Magpies, but it was a long and messy affair that neither club will be keen to repeat.
Is Sandro Tonali enough of an upgrade to what Liverpool already have?
Liverpool will always strive to improve in every department, but it is not necessarily clear that Tonali would walk straight into Arne Slot’s first XI.
The former AC Milan player would face competition in midfield from the likes of Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Even if some think Tonali could be an upgrade for Mac Allister, there isn’t much to it, so could this really be a deal that Liverpool believe is worth £100m?
