Sandro Tonali: Spurs agree deal worth up to £100m with Newcastle

[AGREED] — terms agreed; formalities remain.

This is the first card in the thread, opened deep into the deal rather than at the whisper stage — the reporting arrived already well advanced.

What moved: ESPN reports, citing sources, that Tottenham have agreed a deal with Newcastle worth up to £100m for Sandro Tonali — an initial £92.5m with a further £7.5m in add-ons tied to European qualification. That would smash Spurs’ transfer record. Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla had earlier reported personal terms were already settled, with Tonali in line for a salary in the £12m–£13m-a-year range, and TEAMtalk carried word of an agreement as the Newcastle exit advanced.

Who reported it: ESPN’s sourced story is the anchor here, corroborated in direction by Football365 — which relays Spurs’ confidence of closing the deal this week and notes the midfielder turned down Manchester City to work under Roberto De Zerbi — and by TEAMtalk.

What’s left before the next stage: the formalities. A medical, signatures and an official announcement from both clubs. Until Newcastle and Tottenham say it themselves, this card stays at agreed — the meter is high because the reporting is aligned, not because anything is done. When it is, the badge will read Sealed.
