Newcastle United have signed AC Milan and Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract, becomes Eddie Howe's first signing of the summer as his side prepares for Champions League football.
Tonali helped Milan win Serie A in 2021-22 and was part of the side which reached last season's Champions League semi-finals.
He is part of Italy's squad at the Under-21 European Championships.
Tonali came through the ranks at Brescia and made his professional debut for them in Serie B at 17.
Brescia were promoted to Serie A in 2018-19 and, while the club were relegated the following season, Tonali made his Italy debut during that campaign when he came on as a substitute against Liechtenstein in October 2019.
He joined AC Milan on loan in the summer of 2020 and, after making the move permanent the following year, scored five goals in 36 top-flight appearances as the club won the Italian title in 2022.
Tonali scored twice in 34 Serie A outings as the San Siro side finished fourth last season, while he made 12 appearances in the Champions League before Milan were knocked out by rivals Inter in the semi-finals.
