Newcastle United are close to signing Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali from Serie A side AC Milan, according to his agent.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The 23-year-old is expected to sign a six-year contract and complete his medical in the coming days.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking to Italian media, Tonali’s agent Giuseppe Riso said the transfer could be worth up to 80m euros (\u00a368.5m) including add-ons. <\/span><\/p>\n

He said final details are being agreed by both sides.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When such an important offer is received it is difficult to refuse both for the club and the player,” <\/span>he said<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Riso added that personal terms have been agreed between Newcastle and Tonali. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tonali helped Milan win the Italian title in 2021-22 and was part of the side which reached last season’s Champions League semi-finals.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is currently part of Italy’s squad at the Under-21 European Championships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonali developed through the ranks at Brescia and made his professional debut for them in Serie B at 17.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brescia were promoted to Serie A in 2018-19 and, while the club were relegated the following season, Tonali made his Italy debut during the campaign when he came on as a substitute against Liechtenstein in October 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

He joined AC Milan on loan in the summer of 2020 and, after making the move permanent the following year, scored five goals in 36 top-flight appearances as the club won the Italian title in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonali scored twice in 34 Serie A outings as the San Siro side finished fourth last season, while he made 12 appearances in the Champions League before Milan were beaten by rivals Inter in the semi-finals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysis – Tonali the first of two ‘marquee’ signings?<\/h3>\n

The Daily Telegraph’s Luke Edwards speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s a really good signing. Tonali created 22 chances in Serie A last season which, for a deep-lying midfield player, is remarkable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe was probably getting a bit twitchy as all managers do at this time of the year when they have not got any players coming in through the door.<\/span><\/p>\n

They went for Nicolo Barella from Inter Milan but I think the asking price for him was more like \u00a3100m, but now they’ve gone for Tonali who is a really good player. I think he will be a big success at Newcastle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because Newcastle are quoted such extortionate prices and the pound signs flash up for clubs whenever they are involved, I think they will only make one more expensive signing this summer. That will be the majority of the budget and then they will look for value for money.<\/span><\/p>\n
