Premier League
Tottenham agree personal terms with Sandro Tonali
Tottenham Hotspur have agreed personal terms with 26‑year‑old midfielder Sandro Tonali, sign‑on bonus and a substantial wage rise, while the transfer fee with Newcastle must still be settled in the summer window.
Tottenham still need to negotiate a fee with Newcastle, who have said they will only allow a summer exit if offers exceed £100 million. Newcastle’s stance gives them significant leverage as Tonali is contracted until 2029.
The Italian midfielder has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most sought‑after talents after impressive displays for Newcastle. He has logged 110 appearances across all competitions, contributing 10 goals and 10 assists.
Tonali played a pivotal role in Newcastle’s 2025 Carabao Cup triumph, ending a 70‑year wait for a major domestic trophy. His performances have attracted interest from Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City.
Tottenham have already completed signings of Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi. The new arrivals bolster a squad that narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship last season.
Despite interest from several top clubs, Tonali appears set on joining Tottenham. Spurs must still decide whether to meet the eye‑watering £100 million price tag.
If the fee is agreed, Tonali could become one of the most expensive midfielders in Premier League history. The outcome will shape Tottenham’s transfer strategy ahead of the next campaign.
