Sandro Tonali is reportedly close to joining Tottenham from Newcastle United. The deal is said to be worth more than €100 million, which would make the Italy international the most expensive Italian player in history.
The midfielder only joined Newcastle in 2023, but reports now suggest he could move to Spurs this summer. Newcastle signed Tonali from AC Milan last summer, but his time at St James’ Park could be short-lived if the reported transfer goes through. The potential move would mark a significant shift for the player after just one season in English football.
Confirmed Deals in Serie A
While Tonali’s transfer remains at the reported stage, Juventus and AC Milan have both announced completed signings ahead of the new season.
Juventus have secured the arrival of Jeff Ekhator. The Bianconeri have made the new signing their first piece of confirmed summer business.
AC Milan have also moved quickly in the market by signing Gonçalo Ramos. The Rossoneri have added the player to their squad as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
Financial Context and Next Steps
The reported fee for Tonali would surpass any previous transfer involving an Italian player. It would also represent a substantial profit for Newcastle United, who signed the midfielder for a significantly lower amount just twelve months ago.
For Tottenham, acquiring a player with Tonali’s experience would strengthen their midfield options. The Italy international has established himself as a regular member of the national team.
Juventus and Milan will hope their early confirmed deals set the tone for a successful transfer window. Both clubs have acted swiftly to bring in new faces before the pre-season schedule begins. Supporters of all four clubs will watch closely for further developments in the coming days.
