Newcastle transfers: Tonali announced and became the most expensive Italian in history
Sandro Tonali completed his move to Newcastle on Monday to become the most expensive Italian player in history, with AC Milan pocketing as much as €70,000,000.
The “bang” was done and Newcastle made the second most expensive transfer in their history and at the same time the most expensive Italian footballer. THE Sandro Tonali is a thing of the past for Milan, the English side announced his signing on Monday lunchtime.
The 23-year-old midfielder signed until the summer of 2028 with the prospect of a one-year extension. The transfer amount can be up to 70,000,000 euros with bonuses, while the “rosoneri” keep a 10% resale percentage.
The international is second only to Alexander Isak for the Magpies after costing the Sweden forward $70,000,000 excluding bonuses last summer.
Tonali breaks the record of Jorginho, who was sold from Napoli to Chelsea for 57,000,000 in the summer of 2018 and was the most expensive Italian player.
