Tottenham sign Sandro Tonali for a reported £100m

sportsJul 6, 202642151

Tottenham have completed the signing of Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali for a club-record package worth an initial £92.5m plus £7.5m in add-ons, taking the total potential fee to £100m. The 26-year-old moves to Spurs after three seasons at Newcastle, where an earlier bid of around £80m was rejected before the clubs agreed terms. Tonali said he spoke with head coach Roberto De Zerbi for close to two hours and felt an immediate connection to the club, its fans and stadium. He joined Newcastle from AC Milan for £55m in July 2023, served a 10-month FIGC ban for breaching betting rules, then returned to help Newcastle win the Carabao Cup in 2025. Tonali follows Mateus Fernandes, signed this window for £85m, and Tottenham could spend a combined £237m on Jan Paul van Hecke, Fernandes and Tonali. Sporting director Johan Lange described Tonali as having outstanding technical quality and football intelligence, and Spurs’ ability to spend heavily is enabled by the new squad-cost ratio rules and their 2024-25 accounts showing wages and amortisation at 61% of revenue.

Sandro Tonali is delayed because he’s currently listening to every Spurs podcast. Will be announced in January.

£275,000 per week is not enough.

He's in the bookies, will sign when he's finished his ACCA.

Tottenham have broken their transfer record for the second time in FOUR DAYS, confirming the signing of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle for $133M 😲 They'd previously broken the club record on Mateus Fernandes, who cost $113M from West Ham (both fees per Fabrizio Romano).

#THFC have signed Sandro Tonali from #NUFC for £100m. The Italian midfielder is set to earn over £275,000 a week and was keen to work under Roberto De Zerbi, despite interest from #MCFC. This comes just days after Spurs originally broke their transfer record to sign Mateus Fernandes for £85m

So many conspiracy theories about the Tonali announcement. 😂 He signed and passed his medical on Friday. He's a Tottenham player now—it doesn't really matter when the club announces it. Some of you are stressing way too much. 😂 Relax If there was a problem, believe me, we'd all know about it.

Agreed, no announcements over weekends. Big drop on Monday.

I didn’t even know there is a problem/concern. I just assumed he will be announced Monday and kept watching the World Cup Dod I miss something?

Pete Duncan1

So much this. If the papers are signed, why make our media team work over the weekend? Announcing it is literally the least important part of the process.

🗣️ Roberto De Zerbi on Sandro Tonali. “I’ve followed him for a long time, as he came through the youth system at my hometown club, Brescia, and I'm so happy to be working with him. Given his qualities, there was a lot of interest in Sandro. However, he was very clear in his desire to join Tottenham.”

Spurs just broke their transfer record for Sandro Tonali. After just breaking their transfer record for Mateus Fernandes. After paying £52m for Jan Paul van Hecke. They were synonymous with frugality. Not now. How can Spurs afford this? @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/741...
