Tottenham and Manchester City chase Newcastle's £100m Tonali

Tottenham Hotspur have opened transfer talks with Newcastle United for Italy international Sandro Tonali, the 26‑year‑old midfielder valued at around £100 million including add‑ons. Manchester City are also in contention, with discussions on personal terms continuing alongside Tottenham’s approach. Tonali remains contracted to Newcastle until 2029, and his potential move is being evaluated by Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi. David Ornstein of The Athletic reported that Tottenham have opened talks with Newcastle United for Sandro Tonali. The report also noted that Manchester City remain in the race, with personal terms discussions ongoing. Newcastle United have set a price in the region of £100 million for Tonali, and the club is prepared for offers. Manager Eddie Howe described the midfielder as one of the most complete defensive midfielders in the Premier League.

Manchester City director of football Hugo Viana is weighing a possible double signing of Tonali and Nottingham Forest winger Elliot Anderson. City’s interest in Anderson aligns with a broader midfield strategy as Rodri’s contract situation remains unresolved. Arsenal and Manchester United have also been linked with Tonali during the season. Tottenham’s entry into the race under new manager Roberto De Zerbi adds a further competitive dimension to the pursuit.

Tonali’s representatives are negotiating personal terms with both Manchester City and Tottenham simultaneously. The outcome will determine whether Viana proceeds with a parallel midfield acquisition or Tonali joins north London. The Magpies, as Newcastle are nicknamed, are prepared for offers as the transfer window progresses. City’s discussions are reported to be taking place alongside meetings at the Etihad Stadium.
