Tottenham £75m – Tottenham’s latest attempt to sign Sandro Tonali has reportedly hit another wall: Newcastle United have refused a second £75m offer, the same figure as the first bid. Newcastle are said to want £100m.
Spurs came back with the same number.
In a transfer situation that feels almost too specific to be real. Tottenham have reportedly submitted a second bid for Sandro Tonali—again worth £75m—and Newcastle United have refused it again. The twist is that both offers were at the same price. even as Newcastle are said to be holding out for £100m to let the player leave.
The claim comes from the Daily Mail, through a report by Craig Hope, describing a cycle of Tottenham testing the waters, Newcastle shutting it down, and then Tottenham returning once more with the same offer.
Newcastle’s position, as outlined in the report, is stark: £75m is not enough, but £100m might be. If the demands are being held this tightly. Tottenham’s next move becomes clear—either they raise the price. shift focus to a different target. or risk being left without a deal for the player they want.
For Tottenham, the reported repetition carries its own message. It suggests the club is not ready to meet Newcastle’s valuation, even after the first rejection. It also raises the question of what the club believes the opportunity cost looks like. In Tottenham’s case. that could mean taking the hit on this pursuit and pivoting—another midfield target is already being discussed in the same context. Adam Wharton.
Tonali would, on paper, be a major upgrade in role for Spurs. The report doesn’t change that basic appeal; it simply underlines the financial gap between what Tottenham are offering and what Newcastle are demanding. If Tottenham do have alternatives they’re ready to move for, this could end with them redirecting the money elsewhere. If not. they may find themselves edging toward Newcastle’s £100m figure—late. expensive. and with less room left to negotiate.
At the moment, though, all readers are left with a single, oddly phrased standoff: two Tottenham bids, both £75m, both refused by Newcastle, and Newcastle still insisting it will take £100m to move Sandro Tonali on.
