TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Rodrygo Goes has indicated that he would be open to joining Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
TBR Football understands that the winger’s entourage are assessing his options, having already spoken to Arsenal and Liverpool.
Tottenham Hotspur have now started discussions with intermediaries, as the North London club are keen to understand Rodrygo’s situation.
Real Madrid value Rodrygo at around £70m, which would mean Spurs would need to significantly break their transfer record to sign the Brazilian.
Exclusive: Rodrygo Goes open to Tottenham Hotspur transfer
Tottenham will consider moving for Rodrygo Goes should Son Heung-min leave the football club this summer, sources have told TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
Spurs are prepared to make a statement signing if the South Korean legend were to depart, and have also budgeted to allow for a big-name addition.
At this stage, TBR Football can confirm that Son is now seriously considering a move to LAFC after they made a renewed push to sign him.
The Real Madrid star is one of the names they would consider should he be open to moving to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Part of the North London club’s talks are now around the fact that Rodrygo has shown a willingness to join Thomas Frank’s team.
TBR Football also understands that Tottenham have made it known that they would be willing to make the 24-year-old their highest-paid player.
The winger’s options to leave the Spanish capital are starting to dwindle somewhat, with Bayern Munich agreeing to sign Luis Diaz.
Elsewhere, Liverpool’s focus is on signing Alexander Isak and Eberechi Eze is confident that he’s joining Arsenal.
Rodrygo Goes will be wary of Brazil World Cup spot
Spurs would offer Rodrygo the chance of playing Champions League football and a regular starting spot in his favoured role on the left-hand side.
Rodrygo enjoyed a solid campaign last term as he netted 14 goals and 11 assists in 54 matches, featuring mostly off the right.
But now, the player will know that at Madrid, his spot in the team under Xabi Alonso is far from guaranteed, which is not an ideal situation ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
Given the competition for places in the Brazilian national team, Rodrygo will want assurances of a starting spot at the Santiago Bernabeu if he is to stay.
The player is currently still on holiday, having played at the FIFA Club World Cup with Madrid and is due for talks with Alonso over his future.
