Tottenham Hotspur are now considering an audacious move for a Real Madrid forward who is considering exiting the Spanish giants this summer but they will have to overcome competition from two of their fiercest rivals to land the superstar.
Some sources indicate that Spurs are prepared to back Thomas Frank with big money this summer as the club looks to signal their ambition at the start of their new era.
Daniel Levy even asserted that Tottenham’s eventual ambition is to win the Premier League and the Champions League, but Spurs fans will be keen to see their chairman put his money where his mouth is.
It turns out that the Lilywhites are considering doing just that by pushing ahead with a move to land a superstar from the Santiago Bernabeu.
Tottenham are interested in Real Madrid star Rodrygo
According to Cadena Ser, Tottenham have now entered the race to sign Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.
The Brazilian scored six goals and six assists in 30 league appearances last season, but he started just over half of the club’s La Liga fixtures.
It is asserted that Rodrygo is now unhappy with his lack of game time and is considering leaving the Spanish capital, with Tottenham Hotspur competing with their London rivals, Arsenal and Chelsea, for his signature.

Real Madrid’s asking price and Rodrygo’s stance revealed
The outlet says that the versatile winger, who is capable of playing across the front three, is now ‘exploring the Premier League‘ amidst the interest in his services.
It is stated that Real would ask for around €90m (£77m) for the Brazilian this summer, which would represent a club-record transfer for Tottenham, outstripping the £65m they paid for Dominic Solanke last summer.
