Sandro Tonali ‘has signed’ a six-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur, with only the official announcement of the move now remaining.

Spurs worked hard in recent weeks to deliver Tonali from Newcastle United for boss Roberto De Zerbi, who made his countryman a priority target.

De Zerbi’s good relationship with Tonali was key to the move going through, with the Italy midfielder keen to play for his fellow Italian in N17.

Newcastle’s transfer stance irritated Tottenham, who were forced to agree to a package worth £100m to take Tonali to north London.

Now though Spurs have put Tonali through his medical paces and closed in on finalising the move.

Journalist Ben Jacobs wrote on X: “Sandro Tonali has signed his six-year Spurs contract ahead of his £100m move.

“Only the official announcement pending.”

Signed Martin Dubravka Jan Paul van Hecke Andrew Robertson Marcos Senesi Mateus Fernandes Tottenham’s signings so far

Tonali will represent a club record signing for Tottenham and much will be expected from the Italian in a Spurs shirt.

He had interest from other clubs, but even with Tottenham having no European football to offer the lure of working with De Zerbi at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium won out.

Tonali joins Martin Dubravka, Andrew Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke and Mateus Fernandes through the entry door in north London.

The midfielder spoke at the airport in Milan before flying over to London to put the finishing touches to the move.

Tonali said: “I’m really happy, everything is different, we’ve decided to change and we’re ready for this new adventure.”

Losing Tonali is a big blow for Newcastle and could yet be made worse if Bruno Guimaraes gets a move away from St James’ Park.

The Magpies have already lost Anthony Gordon this summer, selling the winger to Barcelona for £70m.

Despite both Newcastle and Tottenham having no European football, only one of the two are losing key assets this summer.

There will be pressure on both De Zerbi and Eddie Howe to start the new campaign well though, given both clubs’ struggles last term.

Sandro Tonali has insisted he is ‘really happy’ at his impending move to Tottenham Hotspur as it is time for a new adventure.

Spurs have agreed to pay Newcastle United a fee which could reach £100m if all the add-ons are triggered and the Magpies have now signed off on the sale.

Tottenham were irritated by Newcastle insisting the £100m figure had to be hit, but have nevertheless agreed to sign the Italian.

Now the midfielder is boarding a plane in Italy in order to arrive back in the UK later today, ready for his medical to then take place.

Tonali has spoken about the move as he arrived at the airport in Milan and is clear he is delighted he will be joining Tottenham.

The Italy international insists that it was time to change clubs and embark upon a new challenge, which he is ready for.

“I’m really happy, everything is different, we’ve decided to change and we’re ready for this new adventure”, he said to journalists at the airport, via Tutto Mercato Web.

Tonali will want to come through the medical tests without an issue, with a Tottenham contract running until 2032 ready for him to put pen to paper to.

The Italian admits that there was never a realistic prospect he could return to Serie A this summer, though held out the possibility of a return to AC Milan at some point in the future.

“It’s always been very difficult, it never happened even though we talked about it.

“We joke about it [returning to AC Milan] all the time, but if the opportunity arises, maybe one day we’ll talk about it seriously.”

For now Tonali will be focused on his new chapter at Tottenham, who are splashing serious cash in the summer transfer window and are far from finished.

Spurs have just splurged £85m on Portugal midfielder Mateus Fernandes and will add Tonali as another engine room option.

The Italian star will have an early significant date to pencil into his calendar, with Newcastle set to visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League as soon as 29th August.
