Tottenham Hotspur have launched an audacious attempt to sign Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes.
Tottenham have been working to sign Morgan Gibbs-White, however, Nottingham Forest have been blocking their move for the England international.
Thomas Frank remains keen to add to his attacking options, especially with Son Heung-min now available for sale this summer.
The North London club have now turned their attention elsewhere with Daniel Levy plotting an ambitious move to sign Rodrygo.
Daniel Levy ready to start talks to sign Rodrygo Goes
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to make a statement signing this summer and have entered the race to sign Rodrygo Goes, according to Diario AS.
Levy hopes to use his good relations with Real Madrid to attempt to lower their asking price for the winger.
Currently, Los Blancos want around £78 million for Rodrygo, but the Spurs chairman is hoping to reduce this price.
The 63-year-old promised his new manager before he joined that there would be plenty of investment, and now he is plotting to make a real statement.
Should Son leave the club this summer, that would open the door to Rodrygo having the chance to take the starting left wing spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Mathys Tel, Mikey Moore and Wilson Odobert are Spurs’ current options, but all three remain rather inexperienced at the top level.
Signing a player such as Rodrygo would be a serious show of ambition from Tottenham, but at this stage, it remains a faraway dream.
Liverpool also planning to make move for Rodrygo Goes
The battle to sign the Brazilian international remains fierce with Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Arsenal all in the race.
TBR Football understands that Liverpool are keen on Rodrygo, and Richard Hughes is preparing to open talks with the player’s agent.
The player seems open to leaving the Santiago Bernabeu, given he is unlikely to be a first-choice option under Xabi Alonso next season.
With the World Cup next summer, he cannot afford to be playing a bit part role for his club if he has hopes of starting for Brazil.
Therefore, Rodrygo’s camp have made it known that he would like to look at options away from the club and Madrid are aware of this stance.
