That price was actually non sense. It's far higher compared with his market value.
https://www.transfermarkt.com/sandro-tonali/marktwertverlauf/spieler/397033I doubt if tonalli's transfer gonna be another successful transfer from howe. I see tonalli's stats doesn't look like impressive last season. Im feeling doubtful if he gonna be useful for newcastle. Tonally wants stay even longer in acmilan but the director of club was not approving it and sold tonalli to the newcastle.
It's a big gamble by howe in buying tonalli from acmilan. Im feeling doubt with his performance during pre match that will come soon. Howe may put him as starting line up.
Tonalli won't be able easily adapting to the club.
It seems that it is indeed higher, it is just a rumor price. But the last price I read from some news, Ac Milan agreed to sell Tonali for 55 million Euros. This is of course a fairly competitive price and Newcastle will pay it.
