Tottenham ready to offer £100 million for Sandro Tonali

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing a bid of around £100 million to sign Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United this summer, potentially making it a club-record offer. The report, attributed to TEAMtalk, says Spurs may need to raise their initial approach after Newcastle rejected a bid of about £75 million. Roberto De Zerbi is described as identifying Tonali as a key target for a marquee summer signing, with the player’s form for Newcastle singled out. Tonali, aged 26, is said to be open to joining Tottenham, and Spurs have already held positive talks with his representatives. The article also notes the competitive pressure Tottenham faces, pointing to their 17th-place finish last season and the goal of returning to the Champions League. Paul Scholes is also quoted as having previously claimed Tonali is “better than Declan Rice,” while the report frames the £100 million figure as difficult for Newcastle to turn down despite their reluctance to sell.
