According to Sky Sports, Newcastle United has rejected Tottenham Hotspur’s offer for Sandro Tonali.The North London club submitted a bid worth around £80 million earlier this week, but Newcastle turned it down immediately.Tonali has emerged as one of Roberto De Zerbi’s top transfer targets as the Tottenham manager looks to rebuild his squad this summer. The Italy international is seen as a player who could become a central figure in midfield.Newcastle is in a strong negotiating position, with Tonali under contract until 2029. The Italian’s deal does not contain a release clause, and the Magpies would only consider selling him for a huge fee.Manchester City is also interested in the 26-year-old, which could make the situation even more difficult for Tottenham. City is looking at midfield additions as well, while it is also pursuing Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson.Tonali joined Newcastle from AC Milan in 2024 and has developed into one of the club’s most important players. Tottenham’s rejected offer shows serious interest, but Newcastle’s response suggests it will take a much bigger bid to make a deal possible.The post Tottenham fails with Tonali bid appeared first on SoccerNews.
