Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has tweeted that in the meeting this afternoon in Milan, Italy, full agreement was reached between Newcastle United (represented by Sporting Director Dan Ashworth and Head of Recruitment Steve Nixon) and AC Milan for the transfer of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle.

The fee has been agreed at around €70M with around €5M add-ons, and the structure of the deal has also been agreed to.

Tonali will get a long-term six-year contract worth €8M/year in wages.

If that’s accurate, that’s about £132K/week.

As time goes by and Newcastle’s revenues increase, we will need to pay higher wages to new players coming in and at the same time increase the wages of players already at the club like Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes, who have been stars over the last 18 months.

Tonali’s agent Giuseppe Riso is on his way to Romania where Tonali is playing for the Italian U21 team tonight, and it’s expected the medical can be completed tomorrow or on Saturday at the latest

The papers are being readied for signature by all involved parties for tomorrow, when the deal will hopefully be completed successfully.

Here is the latest from Fabrizio Romano:

? Full agreement reached between AC Milan and Newcastle for Sandro Tonali after new meeting in Milano.
Deal being finalized now, documents being prepared.
Final check between clubs and then it’s here we go for Magpies to sign Tonali.

Told Sandro Tonali’s agent Giuseppe Riso will travel to Romania on Friday — where Tonaly is busy with Italy U21’s camp. ??????
He’s not in Romania tonight — plan is to get final details of the contracts done in the next hours then complete medical with #NUFC staff in 24/48h. pic.twitter.com/DYRlqYhBox

This is one terrific signing by Newcastle, assuming there are no hitches with the medical, and it’s being reported Tonali was Eddie Howe’s number one transfer target this summer.

It shows the sky-high ambitions of our new owners, and Tonali will have an important role to play as the defensive midfielder protecting the back four.

He can also launch attacks from the back and allow Bruno Guimaraes and others to move further up the field into more attacking positions.

This all sounds ~~good~~ great to us.

Did I say this is one terrific signing?

🙂

What do you think?

Spurs are next at SJP for the early kick off on Saturday. The game will be streamed by TNT. Eddie’s presser should be early Friday morning, hopefully he’ll confirm that Trippier’s fit to play.

8th February, 2024

An update on my health situation - we have terminated the PluVicto treatment halfway through, because of the severity of the side effects - diarrhea, vomiting, and acid reflux.

And there was no evidence the treatment was having any positive effect in stopping the prostate cancer from spreading in the bones.

There are no treatments left for me to go on.

I will go into home hospice care now and will have a hospice nurse visit me at home regularly to ensure I am as comfortable as possible and we will treat the side effects of the treatments I have had.

It's down the final stretch now, and I have run out of treatments, and nature will now take its course.

I hope Newcastle can get many wins this season from now on, and I am at peace with all of this.

Thanks for all your help through the years - it's very much appreciated

Ed Harrison
