Tottenham seek Real Madrid permission to begin talks with €90 million-rated star | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as the latest club to be linked with a move for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.

The Real Madrid forward has found himself in a precarious situation this summer, with his role for next season not yet defined and likely to dwindle under Xabi Alonso.

This has led to widespread speculation over his future at Real Madrid, with Spurs emerging as one of the potential destinations.

According to AS, Tottenham have already started laying the groundwork for their pursuit of Rodrygo this summer.

It appears the Premier League giants have sought Real Madrid’s permission to speak with the Brazilian international.

Spurs have already have spent €150 million this summer on new signings such as Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso among others.

However, the Lilywhites require that zest out wide which is missing and that is where Rodrygo comes into the fray.

That being said, signing the Brazilian international won’t be a straightforward task, with Real Madrid valuing at him at around €90 million.

Real Madrid have made it very clear in the recent past that the club are not looking to sell any of their players on cut price deals. Rodrygo is no exception.

Tottenham’s negotiator Daniel Levy is only open to either paying €90 million for Rodrygo or pay the forward’s hefty €10 million salary package. But not both at once.

Therefore, negotiations with Rodrygo will be key in not only convincing him of the Spurs project but also to lower his salary demands.
