Tottenham Hotspur could have the perfect opportunity to sign Real Madrid winger Rodrygo now Daniel Levy has left the club, with Spurs now set to increase their wage budget.
It was confirmed earlier this week that Levy would be leaving the club after more than 20 years at the helm, in a move that came as a huge shock to many Tottenham supporters. For a large portion of fans, Levy being in charge of the club is all they've known, and they are now set to enter a new era without him.
It was an impressive summer transfer window for Spurs, bringing in four senior players who are all likely to have a major impact this season and have every chance of becoming regular starters. Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palinha, Randal Kolo Muani, and Xavi Simons have all arrived through the door at Tottenham as they prepare for a campaign back in the Champions League.
Tottenham Have Chance of Signing Real Madrid's Rodrygo
During the summer transfer window, reports claimed that Tottenham had submitted an offer to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid, worth in the region of £87m. The Brazilian's high wage demands ruled Spurs out of the running, with many pointing aim at Levy for Spurs struggles to attract players in recent years due to not offering high enough wages.
That could all be about to change after Levy's exit, with Football Insider claiming that Tottenham are now set to offer higher wages to new additions. This could boost their chances of signing a player of Rodrygo's calibre, with a previous report claiming that he could demand in the region of £350,000-a-week.
If Tottenham are set to break their wage structure in order to attract new signings, then it wouldn't be a surprise to see them make a move to sign Rodrygo, who was described as a 'superstar' by former team-mate Luka Modric, again. Spurs won't want to alter their strategy completely and spend too much on wages, but it could allow them to shop in a different market.
Levy did an excellent job of keeping Tottenham ran well as a business, but there's certainly an argument to suggest he could have done more in terms of being able to attract a higher calibre of player.
