Sandro Tonali says it is “time to say goodbye” to Newcastle and manager Eddie Howe as he leaves the club following a transfer to Tottenham. Tonali, who joined Newcastle from AC Milan in July 2023 for £55 million, now completes a move to Tottenham that is reported to be worth up to £100 million. After finalising the transfer, he writes an emotional message to Newcastle supporters, describing the city and the experience there as meaningful beyond football, while saying he is struggling to find the right words to express his gratitude. The reports describe his departure as a shift away from Newcastle’s coaching environment under Eddie Howe, marking an end to his spell at St James’ Park that began in mid-2023. The coverage is centred on Tonali’s farewell to fans and acknowledgment of his time with Newcastle, alongside the financial details of the Tottenham deal reported to include potential add-ons bringing the total value to around £100 million.
