Tottenham are ready to rival several Premier League clubs in the race for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, according to AS journalist Eduardo Burgos.
The Europa League winners are reportedly looking to make another ‘statement’ signing this transfer window and have identified the Brazil international as a potential target.
Rodrygo faces an uncertain future in the Spanish capital under new boss Xabi Alonso and is set to hold talks with the former Bayer Leverkusen manager over his role in the team and a possible departure.
The 23-year-old made just three appearances under Alonso during the Club World Cup, where Real were eliminated in the semi-finals by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain.
Tottenham Eyeing Deal to Sign Rodrygo
Among Premier League clubs keen on the Brazilian
According to AS, Tottenham could face stiff competition for Rodrygo from a number of Premier League and European sides, with Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea all showing interest.
Spurs are reportedly unwilling to pay a ‘crazy’ fee for the Brazilian, and chairman Daniel Levy is expected to try and negotiate Real’s asking price down to below €90m (£78m).
Rodrygo, who joined Real from Santos in 2019, is under contract until June 2028 and is reportedly seeking a wage package of around £250,000 per week at his next club.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Rodrygo has scored 68 goals in 270 appearances for Real Madrid.
Tottenham have already bolstered their attacking options with the signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham this summer and have also secured Mathys Tel on a permanent deal.
The Lilywhites remain interested in Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White, although talks between the clubs have stalled following a £60m bid.
