Career and background
Born in Lodi on 8 May 2000, Tonali played youth football with Lombardia Uno and Piacenza before joining Brescia in 2012. He made his professional debut in Serie B in August 2017. His performances brought successive club player-of-the-season awards and a move to AC Milan in 2020, initially on loan before the transfer became permanent.Source: Tottenham Hotspur FC ↗
At Milan he helped secure the 2021–22 Serie A title and played throughout the following season’s run to the Champions League semi-finals. Newcastle signed him in 2023. After a ten-month FIGC ban for betting offences, he returned to competitive football in August 2024. A separate FA sanction in 2024 was suspended and did not add an immediate playing ban.Sources: Tottenham Hotspur FC ↗ · Newcastle United FC ↗ · The Football Association ↗
Tonali helped Newcastle win the Carabao Cup in March 2025, ending the club’s long wait for a domestic trophy. He left with 110 appearances and ten goals when he moved permanently to Tottenham in July 2026. His Italy career includes youth European Championships and a senior debut against Liechtenstein in October 2019; he continued as an international midfielder after the move to London.Sources: Newcastle United FC ↗ · Tottenham Hotspur FC ↗
