Newcastle reject £80m offer from Spurs for Sandro Tonali

Newcastle United have rejected an offer from Tottenham Hotspur worth around £80 million for Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali, which was submitted earlier this week. Reports indicate that Tottenham manager Roberto de Cerbi is a big fan of Tonali. And the club tried to assess the financial viability of a move for the 26-year-old, but initial offers were rejected by Newcastle. Newcastle are in a position to demand more for him. Sources believe that it may be close to 100 million pounds because of Manchester. City and Arsenal are also monitoring the situation. While the club had just sold Anthony Gordon to Barcelona earlier. Newcastle CEO David Hopkinson has previously made it clear that they will sell players on. It is only on "our terms" and Tonali has a contract until 2030, having signed a new deal during his 10-month ban from betting, in return for the club's trust. Market conditions during this period may be beneficial to player-owning clubs. If an auction actually takes place This is because midfielders are highly valued. For example, Manchester City had a second offer worth around £120m taken by Nottingham. Forest have turned down a move for Elliott Anderson, while relegated West Ham want a transfer fee of up to £80 million for Matius Fernandes. This was despite scenes of celebration from fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after De Cerbi led the club to avoid relegation on the final day of the season. But within the club there is an acceptance that they must not return to that situation. CEO Vinai Venkatasam told BBC Sport in May that "Change is happening" and club policies are changing as well. Tottenham have already spent £52 million on Jan Paul van Heck, a huge waste of money for a player with one year remaining on his contract with Brighton. The club also restructured their wages and signed Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers before the window officially opened. Although Spurs' first offer was unsuccessful, But the approach reflects a change for the club, which has never before spent more than £65m on a player. (The old record was the Dominic Solanke deal.) However, this offer was quickly rejected by Newcastle. The same week Newcastle missed out on the opportunity to sign Victor Muñoz to Liverpool. If Tottenham are successful in making their first offer for Tonali. It must be tough for Newcastle. But now it's clear they will demand more if they want his release. --- ## Related Articles 1.
