Sandro Tonali has agreed personal terms with Tottenham Hotspur on a contract worth more than £275,000 per week, according to reports from Sky Sports UK and Sky Sport Italia. The Italian midfielder's agreement comes as Newcastle United firmly resists the North London club's attempts to secure his signature.
Tottenham's bid of nearly £80 million (circa €92 million) was rejected by Newcastle, who are demanding approximately €100 million for the midfielder with three years remaining on contract. Newcastle's asking price puts Tonali well above Manchester City's recent £116 million Anderson benchmark.
AC Milan retained a 10 percent cut of any future sale fee when they sold Tonali to Newcastle United for €60 million in 2023, meaning Milan stands to earn significantly from any eventual transfer if Newcastle agrees to a sale.
While Tonali's readiness to join Tottenham appears certain and a lucrative contract awaits his signature, any move depends entirely on Newcastle's willingness to negotiate and accept a fee closer to their reported €100 million demand rather than the current bids under discussion.
