Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul Hecke are in place at Tottenham. Now the defensive midfield will also be strengthened and make Tottenham much better equipped to face the Premier League opponents’ attacking football. In recent weeks, Sandro Tonali has been heavily linked to the club, now it is reported that Tottenham intend to go all the way to secure the signing of one of the Premier League’s very best in his position.

“The first bid is never accepted. It is normal and common knowledge in football that when you want to negotiate for a top player with a high transfer fee, the first offer is never accepted. It’s part of the plan, because for Tottenham, it was the message that was sent to the player and also to Newcastle, but especially the player, to show that they mean business,” Romano dosed on his own YouTube channel.
English journalist Ben Jacobs insists that Tottenham “want to sign a statement” this summer, and that Tonali is the player they want most. Despite Newcastle immediately rejecting the first bid of £75 million, Jacobs claims they are determined to get their hands on their top target. He writes: “A new bid is expected. Manchester City are also still active.
Italian transfer journalist Nicolo Schira claims Tottenhgam are preparing a new bid of over €100 million to secure Tonali’s signature.
This bid shatters Tottenham’s current transfer record, which is £65 million for Dominic Solanke in 2024.
