The AC Milan star is ready to switch sides ahead of the next season.
Newcastle have reached an agreement to sign Sandro Tonali, confirms the player’s agent.
A boyhood Milan fan, Tonali established a reputation as one of Serie A’s most promising midfielders after arriving at San Siro in 2021.
The Italy international’s consistent displays for Milan attracted interest from a number of elite sides. But it seems that Magpies have won the race to sign him this summer.
“This is an excellent deal,” Tonali’s agent Giuseppe Riso said on Friday.
“Newcastle is the perfect project for Tonali. Newcastle wanted Sandro as key signing at all costs.
“He will be a crucial player for Mapgies. This deal also helps AC Milan and Brescia’s finances a lot.”
Tonali has signed a six-year deal at St.James’ Park, joining Eddie Howe’s side ahead of their first Champions League campaign in over two decades.
The agent added: “It’s difficult to reject huge bid for the club and the player. We agreed all terms for Tonali with Newcastle and the two clubs are finalising the deal.
“The contract with Newcastle will be valid for the next six years.”
Newcastle are expected to announce Tonali’s arrival in the coming days. The Italian star will link up with the likes of Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock at the heart of the Magpies’ midfield line.
