Tottenham complete club-record Sandro Tonali deal from Newcastle
Tottenham have completed a club-record deal for Sandro Tonali, signing the Newcastle midfielder for a package that could reach £100 million. The move follows a medical in London and gives Spurs another headline addition in a summer of heavy spending.
Tottenham have completed the club-record signing of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United, with the deal reportedly rising to £100 million and taking Spurs’ summer spending to new heights.
The move was confirmed after Tonali underwent a medical in London and signed a six-year contract, according to reports that said the fee is made up of £92.5 million upfront plus £7.5 million in bonuses. Tottenham have also said the Italy midfielder will wear No. 16.
The transfer marks another major step in Tottenham’s aggressive rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi, with the club having already added Mateus Fernandes earlier in the window and now breaking its own record again. One report noted the combined outlay on Fernandes and Tonali has reached £185 million.
A club-record midfield arrival of this size is the kind of story that dominates the market because it reshapes both the buying club and the selling club at the same time, and this one is no exception. Newcastle lose a leading midfielder, while Tottenham add one of the biggest deals of the summer to an already extraordinary spending spree.
