Newcastle rejects £80m Spurs bid for midfielder Sandro Tonali

Newcastle United have declined an £80 million offer from Tottenham Hotspur for midfielder Sandro Tonali. The bid was submitted earlier this week but was swiftly rejected by Newcastle. Tonali, who joined Newcastle from AC Milan for £55 million three years ago, has a contract that runs until 2029. Tottenham's new head coach, Roberto De Zerbi, views the 26-year-old as a key target in efforts to strengthen their squad after avoiding relegation. Newcastle has prioritized improving technical midfield options this summer, further complicating any potential transfer.
