Italian king! Newcastle officially announces Milan's ace joining! The transfer fee is 70 million euros for 5 years, and the salary is tripled

On July 3, Beijing time, the Premier League powerhouse Newcastle Club officially announced that it signed 23-year-old Italian international midfielder Tonali, and the two sides will sign a contract from 5 years to 2028. The player has completed his medical examination and has officially joined.

According to Romano, Newcastle will pay Milan €70 million plus a floating transfer fee, and the deal includes a 10% resale share clause. Not only did he surpass Kaka (who moved to Real Madrid for €67 million in 2009) to become the highest-selling player in AC Milan's history. In addition, Tonali also replaced Jorginho (57 million euros), setting a record for the highest transfer fee of an Italian player.

Tonali will receive an annual salary of €7 million after tax at Newcastle, with a €2 million bonus. If the bonus is full, Tonali's annual salary at Newcastle will be three times that of his previous time at AC Milan.

Tonali, 23, joined AC Milan on loan from Brescia in 2020 for €5 million, and AC Milan officially bought him out after one season for €14.5 million. In the 2022-23 season, Tonali contributed 2 goals and 10 assists in 48 appearances for the team. At present, on the German "Transfer Market", Tonali's worth has reached 50 million euros.

As a premier upstart, Newcastle finished fourth in the Premier League last season, beating Liverpool to return to the Champions League after 21 years. In order to cope with the needs of multi-front operations in the new season, the Magpies are also ready to spend a lot of money on reinforcements this summer, believing that Tonali will only be the beginning of Newcastle's crazy reinforcements this summer.
