“Newcastle’s SHOCKING £34M Raid for ‘BEAST’ Star to Unleash Tonali 2.0 – You WON’T Believe Who!”

Apart from the £55m capture of Anthony Elanga, Newcastle United have had a quiet summer in terms of new arrivals.

Several targets have slipped away, with James Trafford now leaning toward a return to Manchester City and long-standing interest Hugo Ekitike appearing more inclined to join Liverpool instead of heading to Tyneside.

Fortunately, there’s still time for the Magpies to get deals done before the early September transfer deadline.

Newcastle remain focused on making progress in the market, aiming to secure new signings rather than dwelling on missed opportunities.

Newcastle Scout £34m Inter Milan Defender

Eddie Howe’s side are looking to add firepower up front—despite Alexander Isak’s likely stay—with players like Benjamin Sesko and Yoane Wissa catching their eye.

However, with Sesko valued at £78m and Wissa around £40m, Newcastle are also exploring more affordable defensive options.

According to NUFC Blog, the club have set their sights on Inter Milan’s Yann Bisseck and have already dispatched scouts to watch the 6-foot-5 centre-back in action.

The 23-year-old is reportedly valued at £34m, and other Premier League clubs—Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur—are also monitoring his progress.

Could Bisseck Mirror Tonali’s Impact?

Newcastle hope Bisseck could follow in the footsteps of Sandro Tonali, who made a successful switch from Italy last summer.

Tonali thrived after joining from AC Milan, becoming a key figure in Howe’s side with four goals and two assists in 36 Premier League appearances.

Bisseck, too, is showing strong signs of development. Last season in Serie A, he scored three goals and averaged 43 accurate passes per match—impressive for a defender.

He also displayed composure and strength on Europe’s biggest stage, notably winning eight duels against Barcelona and shutting down Erling Haaland in a Champions League draw with Manchester City.

With Newcastle returning to the Champions League, Bisseck could be a smart addition—an affordable, commanding figure ready to make the leap under Howe’s guidance, potentially replicating Tonali’s impactful rise.
