It is alleged that after the latest development at Tottenham, Daniel Levy may now have the financial wiggle room to push ahead with a mega-money deal.
Heung-min Son’s exit from Tottenham marks the end of an era at the North London club, and according to reports, Spurs are now keen to add more firepower to their attack.
Thomas Frank has hinted that Tottenham are looking for another forward, and over the last few weeks, a number of Spanish outlets have claimed that Spurs are considering an audacious move for Rodrygo.
In fact, some sources have claimed that Tottenham are not put off by Real Madrid’s asking price of €90m (£76m) for Rodrgyo, and it has now been asserted that the Premier League side may be ready to make a move for the Brazilian.
Heung-min Son’s departure sets the stage for Rodrygo move
This update comes from Sunday’s edition of AS (as relayed by Sport Witness), which claims that Daniel Levy wants to replace Son with the Los Blancos star.
The outlet points out that Tottenham Hotspur have now reduced their wage bill by around £10m a year by moving on their club legend, thus making room for Rodrygo’s arrival.
It is asserted that a move for the Brazil international make sense for Spurs, both financially and sporting-wise, now that Son has departed.
The report asserts that Tottenham have already contacted Real Madrid to ask for permission to hold talks with Rodrygo.
Rodrygo’s stance on his future may change as Tottenham linger
AS say that until now, Rodrygo has not asked to leave the Santiago Bernabeu, but that could soon change.
It is pointed out that Xabi Alonso barely used him in the Club World Cup, and the 24-year-old is expected to drop further down the pecking order due to Franco Mastantuono’s arrival and Gonzalo García’s emergence.
These factors could push the Santos academy graduate through the exit door as Tottenham make a move for his services.
