Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement with Newcastle United to sign Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali in a blockbuster transfer worth up to £100 million, making it the biggest signing in the club’s history.
The deal is reportedly structured with an initial payment of £92.5 million, while an additional £7.5 million will be paid in performance related add-ons, mainly linked to Tottenham’s qualification for the UEFA Champions League during the course of Tonali’s contract. Once completed, the transfer will eclipse every previous signing in Spurs’ history and underline the club’s determination to build a squad capable of competing for major honours.
Tonali is expected to sign a long term contract in North London after indicating his desire to work under fellow Italian Roberto De Zerbi.

The 26 year old joined Newcastle from AC Milan in 2023 and quickly established himself as one of the Premier League’s most accomplished midfielders. Despite serving a suspension earlier in his Newcastle career, Tonali returned strongly and became a vital figure for the Magpies, helping them secure domestic success and producing consistently impressive performances. Newcastle are now set to make a significant profit on the player after signing him for around £55 million three years ago.
For Tottenham, Tonali’s arrival represents another major statement in what has been an ambitious summer transfer window. The North London club have already strengthened several areas of the squad and are investing heavily as Roberto De Zerbi reshapes the team ahead of the new Premier League season. The addition of Tonali is expected to bring leadership, creativity and defensive stability to Spurs’ midfield as they aim to challenge both domestically and in Europe.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are expected to reinvest the funds into strengthening multiple positions as they continue rebuilding their squad following a disappointing league campaign. The transfer is one of the biggest deals of the summer and marks the end of Tonali’s successful spell at St James’ Park as he prepares for a new chapter with Tottenham Hotspur.
