Tottenham are in the market to bolster their forward options in 2026, and one superstar would be open to making the move to north London in January.
Spurs had a busy summer transfer window as Thomas Frank added Kota Takai, Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha, Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani to his squad, but the team have had a mixed campaign to date and the Dane has faced criticism for his pragmatic style of play.
The Lilywhites have had to deal with a number of injury issues throughout the season too, and now the club are eyeing potential reinforcements during the winter window to strengthen their bid for trophies.
Tottenham Eyeing Real Madrid Star Rodrygo
Real Madrid star Rodrygo, who has been dubbed 'world-class' by Luka Modric, was one of the biggest talking points in the summer transfer window, with many expecting him to move on after he fell down the pecking order under Xabi Alonso.
However, while he decided to stay at the Bernabeu to fight for his place, he has found regular game time difficult to come by and recently reached 30 games without a goal for the Spanish giants - breaking an unwanted record in club history.
With the 2026 World Cup coming next summer, the 24-year-old, who earns £350,000-a-week, is keen to keep his place in Carlo Ancelotti's squad for the tournament, and it's understood that he is considering a move away as a result.
According to TEAMtalk, Real Madrid don't want to let Rodrygo leave the club in January as they want to keep their squad together for the season, but they have placed a £70m asking price on his head for interested parties.
Intermediaries are said to be working on a deal to get him out of the Spanish capital, and he would be open to a move to the Premier League to join one of six clubs, with Tottenham said to be on that list of options who are actually showing an interest in his services.
Rodrygo Signing Takes Tottenham Up a Level
While Frank has got good attacking options at his disposal, a left winger is something that would undoubtedly take the team to a new level.
Currently, the manager is being forced to use Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel out wide because of injuries to James Maddison, Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski, and it's clear that Rodrygo is a better option than all of them.
A deal may be expensive, but if it can help the north London side to get higher up the table and deeper into competitions, then it would be worth every penny, and may be something that can help get the fans back on the manager's side too.
