🚨 Tonali Needed Just 10 Minutes to Join Spurs After Meeting De Zerbi

📝 THE FULL PICTURE: Tottenham’s club-record £100m signing Sandro Tonali says it took just 10 minutes of chatting with manager Roberto de Zerbi at his home near Brescia to decide on the move. The shared love for boyhood club Brescia-De Zerbi grew up a fan and played there, Tonali started his career there-sealed it. De Zerbi texted a mutual friend last season asking if Tonali was open, and after Spurs avoided relegation, they met. Tonali spoke with another club too, but he was captivated. He says moving to London was only 10% of the attraction; the other 90% was football, De Zerbi, and the recruitment staff. He also praised former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe and wanted the best deal for the Magpies. 💭 MY TAKE: Dude, that’s insane. A ten-minute chat and you’re dropping £100m? The Brescia bond is real-family vibes all the way. But let’s keep it 100: Tonali’s ban and Newcastle losing a star? That’s a gamble. Still, if De Zerbi can close a deal that fast, Spurs might have pulled off a massive coup. Pressure’s on now.
