Tottenham seal £100m move for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali


Tottenham have completed the signing of Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali for a club-record fee which could reach £100m.

The 26-year-old joins the London club after three seasons with the Magpies.

Spurs had a bid of around £80m rejected by Newcastle, but reached agreement on a deal where they are expected to pay an initial £92.5m plus a further £7.5m in add-ons.

Tonali joins fellow big-money signing Mateus Fernandes, who moved from West Ham to Spurs for a fee of £85m.

Italy international Tonali joined Newcastle from AC Milan for £55m in July 2023.

He was banned for 10 months by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) for breaching betting rules shortly after his arrival.

But he became a key player on his return and helped Newcastle win the Carabao Cup in 2025 – their first trophy in 70 years.

Spurs boss Roberto de Zerbi identified his countryman as a target during his time in charge of Sassuolo several years ago when Tonali was playing in Serie A.

It has been a busy summer for Tottenham.

Defenders Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi have arrived on free transfers and the club could end up spending a combined £237m on centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke and midfielders Fernandes and Tonali.
