Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo could be on his way out this summer, and Tottenham are among the clubs linked with a move for the Brazilian.
Spurs find themselves capable of attracting higher-calibre players after their UEFA Europa League triumph led to Champions League qualification for the upcoming season.
Thomas Frank will have his preferred targets, and it remains to be seen if Rodrygo moves to North London this summer.
Spurs open talks for Rodrygo but wait on Liverpool
According to Marca journalist Ramon Alvarez de Mon (28 July), Spurs have opened talks for Rodrygo.
However, they are waiting on Liverpool to see if they make a move for the talented Madrid forward.

Rodrygo himself has not decided on his future and could end up staying in the Spanish capital.
However, this transfer development has seen odds shorten on his move to Spurs.
Per William Hill, odds have shortened to 14/1 for Rodrygo to move to North London. However, if he is to leave, Liverpool remain the favourites at 5/2, although those odds are drifting.
Rodrygo would be a solid addition to the Tottenham attack
Rodrygo would be a stellar signing for Tottenham due to his versatility, flair and proven quality at Real Madrid, where he’s showcased his ability as a dynamic forward.
At 24, his pace, dribbling, and goal-scoring instincts align perfectly with Frank’s attacking, high-intensity system.
Frank’s flexible 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 formations, which emphasise inside forwards, suit the Brazilian’s strengths as he thrives in structured roles, cutting in from the wings or playing as a second striker.
Frank’s track record of developing talents like Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney suggests he can maximise Rodrygo’s potential through tailored coaching, focusing on his movement and finishing.
His emotionally intelligent man-management will help Rodrygo adapt to the Premier League, while Spurs’ data-driven recruitment ensures he fits their youthful, ambitious squad.
Therefore, with regular game time, Rodrygo could transform Tottenham.
