Newcastle United is expected to initiate talks to secure a new contract for Sandro Tonali, deemed an "exceptional" player, according to Mick Brown.
The team has experienced a mixed start to the season, with two wins, three draws, and two defeats in seven games, leaving them 11th in the Premier League table. A recent 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest was a positive note.
The summer transfer window brought uncertainty, particularly with Alexander Isak's deadline-day move to Liverpool. This departure, along with rumors of Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes leaving, has prompted the club to prioritize retaining its key players long-term.
The move has reinforced the stance at St James Park that they will do everything in their power to keep their best players at the club long-term.
