Which Newcastle midfielder joined Tottenham Hotspur for a listed £100m in summer 2026?

The story behind the answer

Sandro Tonali was the Newcastle midfielder who joined Tottenham Hotspur for a listed £100 million in summer 2026.

Tottenham completed the signing in July 2026, with the package reported as £92.5 million plus up to £7.5 million in achievable add-ons. That made the headline figure £100 million and established a new Tottenham club-record deal. Newcastle had signed Tonali from AC Milan in 2023 for a reported fee of about £55 million.

Tonali is an Italy international who can play as a deep-lying No. 6 or a more advanced No. 8. Before moving to England, he broke through at Brescia and became a major figure at AC Milan, helping the Rossoneri win Serie A in 2021–22.

The wording “listed £100m” matters because the guaranteed payment and possible bonuses are not identical. The answer is still Tonali: the reported maximum package, not the initial guaranteed fee, produced the £100 million headline.
