Sandro Tonali Completes £100m Tottenham Move After Turning Down Arsenal

Key Takeaways

  • Tonali has completed a £100m move from Newcastle to Tottenham
  • Arsenal were also interested but stepped away due to cost
  • Tonali will earn £275,000 per week on a six-year deal

Sandro Tonali's Transfermarkt profile has been updated to show Tottenham Hotspur as his current club, confirming a £100m transfer from Newcastle United that ranks among the largest deals of the Premier League summer window.

According to reporting cited alongside the Transfermarkt listing, the transfer is structured as £92.5m paid upfront with a further £7.5m in add-ons, and sees Tonali sign a six-year contract in north London on reported wages of £275,000 per week.

The move ends a spell at Newcastle in which Tonali rebuilt his reputation following a period on the sidelines, re-establishing himself as one of the Premier League's most reliable holding midfielders through his passing range and tempo-setting in deep midfield.

Arsenal had also been credited with interest in the Italy international, with some reports suggesting Tonali initially favoured a move to the Emirates. However, the Gunners ultimately stepped back from a deal at this valuation, with manager Mikel Arteta and the club's recruitment department deciding the fee could not be justified alongside other priorities following their title-winning season.

Tottenham's move for Tonali, arranged under new manager Roberto De Zerbi, gives the club a proven Serie A and Premier League-tested midfielder as they look to rebuild following a difficult recent campaign. Transfermarkt's market-value tracking for the 26-year-old is expected to be revised upward once the transfer is formally processed on the platform, reflecting the scale of the fee involved.
