Tottenham Hotspur has significantly reduced their asking price for attacking player Bryan Gil, who is now entering the final year of his contract in North London. This development, reported by journalist Ben Jacobs, suggests Gil is on the verge of a permanent departure from the club.
The 24-year-old winger has spent multiple loan spells away from Spurs in recent seasons, including a stint last year with Girona. While Girona had a €15 million (£12.5 million) option to buy Gil, they chose not to activate it, allowing the option to expire.
Turkish and Spanish Clubs Eye Winger
Interest in Gil appears to be high, with several clubs vying for his signature. According to Ben Jacobs, speaking on the Last Word on Spurs podcast [via Spurs-Web.com, Celta Vigo are indeed interested in the Spanish international. Just days ago, it was reported that Gil himself had offered his services to Celta Vigo, who are actively seeking reinforcements on the flanks.
Beyond Spain, Jacobs revealed that multiple Turkish clubs, including Beşiktaş, have also expressed interest in Gil. This widespread interest comes as Tottenham is reportedly willing to accept less than £10 million for the winger, a substantial drop from previous valuations.
Potential Destinations Emerge
While Celta Vigo and Turkish clubs are in the frame, other potential destinations for Gil have also been mentioned. A few weeks ago, reports indicated that Girona had not entirely ruled out a permanent deal for the player, though the financial aspects of such an operation remained a concern for the Spanish side.
Additionally, Valencia is said to be considering a move for Gil as they look to bolster their attacking options at the Mestalla. Earlier in the summer, there were whispers of interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, with suggestions they might offer “dizzying offers.” However, no concrete bids from the Middle East have materialized for the former Sevilla player thus far.
As the transfer window progresses, it seems increasingly likely that Bryan Gil will find a new home, bringing his time at Tottenham Hotspur to an end.
