Sandro Tonali has broken his silence following the confirmation of his transfer from Newcastle United to Tottenham Hotspur. The move, valued at £100 million including add-ons, sees the Italian midfielder join Roberto De Zerbi's side in a record-breaking deal.
Tonali's Emotional Farewell to Newcastle
In an Instagram post, Tonali expressed his gratitude to Newcastle. He wrote: "Three years ago I came to Newcastle not really knowing what to expect. Today it’s time to say goodbye and it’s hard to find the right words. I want to start by thanking the club. To the people who work every day and nobody sees at the training ground, everyone who welcomed me and made me feel at home from the very first day."
Transfer Details
Tottenham will pay Newcastle an initial £92.5 million, with a further £7.5 million in potential add-ons. The total package could reach £100 million, making Tonali one of the most expensive signings in Premier League history.
Impact on Tottenham and Newcastle
Tonali's arrival bolsters Tottenham's midfield as they aim to challenge for top honours under De Zerbi. For Newcastle, the sale represents a significant profit on the £55 million they paid for him in 2023, allowing them to reinvest in their squad.
