How much Tottenham are paying Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes per week

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham Hotspur’s ambitious summer rebuild is set to reshape the club’s wage structure, with Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes both expected to become the highest-paid players in Spurs history.Much has been made of Tottenham’s conservative approach to spending over the years, whether that be on transfer fees or player wages compared to their Premier League rivals. That explains why only a few would have imagined Spurs committing around £237m on just three signings, barely three weeks into the summer transfer window.It appears the lessons from two successive relegation battles have been learned after Tottenham broke their transfer record twice in the space of 24 hours; first agreeing an £85m deal for Mateus Fernandes before following it up with a £100m move for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, who is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.Neither transfer came easily as Spurs had to fend off interest from the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United, all of whom can offer Champions League football next season. But looking at the financial package Tottenham have put together, it is not difficult to understand how they have managed to win those races.Photo by Serena Taylor/Newcastle United via Getty ImagesSandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes set for record-breaking Tottenham wagesBefore Tottenham reached an agreement with Newcastle, we had already reported that Tonali, who earned £150,000 per week on Tyneside, was expected to receive a salary worth at least £275,000 in North London.That has now been backed by Sky Sports, who report that Tonali’s wages will actually exceed that figure, while talkSPORT claim the Italy international is set to earn around £300,000 per week.Either way, Tonali will comfortably become not only Tottenham’s highest-paid current player, but the highest-paid footballer in the club’s history.Fernandes is also in line for a huge pay rise following his move from West Ham United. The Portuguese midfielder previously earned around £60,000 per week, but talkSPORT report that his new Tottenham contract would more than quadruple to £250,000 per week.Tonali and Fernandes have indeed taken Tottenham into new territoryEven before either transfer was completed, David Ornstein suggested that the salary packages being discussed would take Tottenham into an area they have rarely ventured before.That assessment now looks spot on, considering even club icons such as Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris and Heung-min Son never earned figures close to those now being handed to Tonali and Fernandes.Prior to the arrivals of the two midfielders, Cristian Romero and Xavi Simons were Tottenham’s joint highest earners on around £195,000 per week.
