With Fabrizio Romano releasing a ‘here we go!’ announcement on Sandro Tonali to Newcastle, we’ve released a bonus podcast on the NUFC Blogcast.
In the 15-minute episode (listen in full below), we react to the ‘done deal’ – believed to be worth in excess of €70m – and reveal all from Romano’s announcement; which also mentions a sell-on clause for AC Milan.
Me and Ed discuss how much Tonali looks set to earn each week on his ‘€7m-per-season’ deal and share how he got on in last night’s opening game of the U21 European Championships for Italy.
We also cover reports suggesting he’ll play as a No 8 under Eddie Howe, with The Athletic’s latest piece going against claims he’ll operate as a deep-lying playmaker in that No 6 role.
