Sandro Tonali in negotiations to join Tottenham
According to David Ornstein, Tottenham Hotspur has opened talks with Newcastle United to sign Sandro Tonali. Discussions are ongoing, but no agreement has been reached yet.
Tottenham Hotspur has shown strong interest in signing Sandro Tonali, as reported by David Ornstein and other journalists. Ornstein notes that there have been 'positive talks' between the London club and the Italian midfielder, although direct contact with Newcastle United has yet to be established.
Sandro Tonali, 26, plays as a defensive midfielder and currently plays for Newcastle United. His market value is estimated at €80 million, and he is under contract until June 30, 2028. His arrival at Tottenham could significantly strengthen the team's midfield, which is looking to improve its performance after a season without European competitions.
The operation would represent a significant step for Tottenham, which aims to make a standout signing under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi. However, Newcastle has rejected an initial offer of £75 million and is seeking at least £85 million. Negotiations are ongoing, and Tottenham is expected to submit a new bid in the coming days.
In addition to Ornstein, Ben Jacobs and Nicolò Schira have confirmed Tottenham's interest and Tonali's willingness to join the club. Schira mentions that there is already an agreement on salary terms, with a contract that could reach €12 million per year, but the transfer fee with Newcastle still needs to be resolved.
