Tottenham open talks with Newcastle over 3100m Sandro Tonali deal

Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks with Newcastle United over a potential blockbuster move for Sandro Tonali, but their initial offer has fallen short of the Magpies’ valuation.

The Londoners are keen to land a marquee signing for manager Roberto De Zerbi, a long-time admirer of the Italy international, and have submitted a bid in the region of 375-80 million, according to Sky Sport.

The move has intensified competition, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City also monitoring the midfielder’s situation.

While Spurs have already made contact with Tonali’s representatives, Newcastle had not been formally approached until now.

However, the Magpies are holding firm, reportedly demanding around 3100 million for their midfield star.

With a contract running until 2029, Newcastle remain in a strong negotiating position and are unwilling to sanction a sale unless their valuation is met in full.
