The club’s record transfer includes £92.5 million upfront and £7.5 million tied to Champions League qualification, with Tonali set to sign through 2032 on reported wages of £300,000 a week.
Tottenham Hotspur has completed a club-record move for Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United in a deal worth up to £100 million, made up of a fixed fee of £92.5 million and £7.5 million in add-ons linked to Champions League qualification. The 26-year-old is expected to sign a six-year contract running through 2032, with reported wages of £300,000 per week, underscoring the scale of Tottenham’s rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi. Tonali reportedly chose Spurs despite interest from Manchester City and credited De Zerbi’s vision for the club’s midfield as decisive. The transfer gives Newcastle a major profit on the player after his move from AC Milan and provides funds to reinvest, while the wage level and performance-linked add-ons could also shape Tottenham’s future salary negotiations and the financial stakes around their push for European qualification.
