**Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali Spotted Wearing £500k Watch During Pre-Season Bike Ride**
Sandro Tonali, the Newcastle United midfielder, has been seen wearing a luxury watch worth over £500,000 during a pre-season bike ride with his team-mates. The 24-year-old Italian international is currently serving a 10-month ban for betting offences, but is set to return to the pitch on August 27.
Tonali, who signed with Newcastle in July 2023 for £52million, has been training with the team during their pre-season trip to Germany. Despite his ban, he is permitted to participate in team activities and has been pictured wearing a team training shirt and shorts. However, it was his wristwear that caught the attention of fans and observers.
The watch, a Richard Mille Rafael Nadal edition, is valued at over £500,000 and is considered one of the most expensive timepieces in the world. Fans took to social media to comment on the watch, with one tweeting, “Tonali rocking his Richard Mille Rafael Nadal watch, worth a whopping [price] of over £400k, in the dressing room! – these guys are rolling in dough!”
Tonali’s contract with Newcastle is worth £120,000 per week, although he has taken a voluntary pay-cut during his suspension. He scored one goal in 12 games for the Magpies last season before his ban stopped him in his tracks. The midfielder is hoping to kickstart his career once his suspension is lifted.
