Tonali’s £100m Spurs move exposes Newcastle’s financial chokehold
Sandro Tonali’s blockbuster transfer to Tottenham is a symptom of Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules strangling Newcastle’s ambitions.
Newcastle United are selling Sandro Tonali to Tottenham Hotspur for a reported £100 million, a move that underscores the financial constraints imposed by Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Tonali’s exit follows the departures of Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak, leaving Eddie Howe’s squad thinner and signaling a regression from the Saudi-backed project’s early ambitions. Tottenham, who finished below Newcastle last season, are set to land a midfield talent who would have been unthinkable to acquire under normal sporting logic.
