The 23-year-old joins the Magpies for \u00a352m and has agreed on a five-year contract which will keep him at St James&#8217; Park until 2028.&nbsp; Tonali becomes Newcastle&#8217;s first major signing of the summer, ahead of their return to the Champions League after two decades away.&nbsp;&nbsp; Read more: Tottenham REACH AGREEMENT with Manor Solomon over free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk Reacting to his move to St. James Park, the Italy international, who has previously been nicknamed the &#8216;new Pirlo&#8217;, told Newcastle&#8217;s official website: &#8220;First of all, I want to thank Newcastle United because they are giving me a huge opportunity for my career. &#8220;I want to repay the trust on the pitch, giving it my all, as I always have. I&#8217;m really excited about playing at St. James&#8217; Park. I can&#8217;t wait to feel the warmth of the fans. Newcastle boss Howe also spoke about his delight at the signing and cited his Champions League experience as an important asset. &#8220;I&#8217;m delighted to welcome Sandro to Newcastle United,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He is an exceptional talent and has the mentality, physicality and technical attributes to be a great fit for us. &#8220;At 23, Sandro already has important experience as a key player in one of Europe&#8217;s top leagues and in the Champions League, as well as playing for his country. &#8220;But he also has the opportunity and potential to grow and evolve with us, and I&#8217;m excited to add him to our squad as we approach the exciting season ahead.&#8221; Tonali is one of Italy&#8217;s most highly-rated players and has captained his country during this summer&#8217;s Under 21 European Championship."}
