Tottenham Hotspur are targeting a major summer statement with a move for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali.
The north London club have identified the 26-year-old as a key transfer priority as they look to rebuild following a difficult campaign.
According to TEAMtalk, Newcastle will only sanction Tonali’s departure if an offer exceeds £100 million this summer.
Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League last season and are determined to make significant improvements to their squad ahead of the new campaign.
Securing a top-quality central midfielder is seen as essential, with Tonali viewed as a potential upgrade on Joao Palhinha, who impressed on loan last season.
Palhinha did an impressive job during his loan spell at the club, but Tottenham have not made his move permanent and appear to be exploring younger alternatives.
Tonali’s ability on the ball, his defensive discipline, and his capacity to control the tempo of a game make him an appealing target for Spurs.
The Italian international would also provide protection in front of the defensive line, winning possession back and helping to set the platform for attacks.
Tottenham have already shown intent in the transfer market by agreeing a £52 million deal to sign Jan Paul Van Hecke to strengthen their defensive unit.
Adding a midfielder of Tonali’s calibre to that business would represent a significant step forward for a club in clear need of top-to-bottom squad improvements.
However, whether Tottenham can or will meet Newcastle’s £100 million valuation remains a genuine obstacle to any potential deal being completed.
The club must also invest in multiple areas across the squad, which could limit the funds available for a single high-value midfield signing.
Reports suggest Tonali would prefer a return to Italian football this summer, though he is unlikely to reject a concrete proposal from Tottenham if one materialises.
How the situation develops over the coming weeks remains to be seen, but Tottenham’s interest in Tonali signals serious ambition to bounce back strongly in 2026.
