Spurs Eye Tonali in Stunning Summer Swoop
16 Jun
Summary
- Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly interested in signing Sandro Tonali.
- Tonali joined Newcastle United for approximately €70 million in 2023.
- Spurs have held positive talks with Tonali's representatives.
Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly pursuing Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali as a key summer transfer target. Manager Roberto De Zerbi has identified the Italian international as a "top target" for the upcoming season. Tonali joined Newcastle in 2023 from AC Milan for a reported €70 million and was a vital player last season, featuring in 31 Premier League matches.
Spurs have allegedly engaged in "positive talks" with Tonali's representatives regarding a potential move. However, they have not yet approached Newcastle United directly. The club views this pursuit as a "statement signing" initiative, driven by De Zerbi and supported by the ownership, especially following the departure of their sporting director.
Tonali is contracted with Newcastle until 2029, and the club is unwilling to part ways with him. His contract lacks a release clause, positioning Newcastle strongly to negotiate a substantial transfer fee. The current market for midfielders is exceptionally high, with other clubs demanding significant sums for their players.
