Tottenham have not made contact for Brazilian star, but Fabio Paratici has touched base

Journalist Ben Jacobs has provided an update on Tottenham’s attempts to land Real Madrid star Rodrygo, and it involves Fabio Paratici.

It emerged last week that Tottenham had explored a move for Real Madrid star Rodrygo, who is also on the radars of Liverpool and Arsenal.

According to reports from Spain, Spurs are emerging as Rodrygo’s most likely destination this summer after the interest of their Premier League rivals in the player cooled over the last few weeks.

In fact, it was even claimed by AS on Tuesday that Tottenham want to make Rodrygo the crown jewel of the Thomas Frank project and are not put off by Real Madrid’s asking price of €90m (£76m).

Fabio Paratici has spoken to Rodrygo about Tottenham switch

Journalist Ben Jacobs has now revealed that Paratici has reached out to Real Madrid’s star’s camp regarding a potential move to N17 this summer.

He stated that it is the only contact that has taken place between the parties so far and explained that the winger is still making up his mind on his future.

Jacobs said on We Are Tottenham TV: “When Rodrygo makes up his mind, he’ll understand who actually wants him and who doesn’t. The only conversation that has taken place between the Rodrygo camp and somebody connected to Tottenham Hotspur is via Fabio Paratici.

“Not Daniel Levy, nobody who is at the moment a full-time staff member. I don’t see this one developing, the player may prove to be open to the Premier League, but we’ll have to wait and see.”

Tottenham may want a marquee signing to replace Heung-min Son

While Spurs are not short of options in attack, Thomas Frank has hinted that Tottenham may sign another wide-forward, who is good in one-on-one situations and can make runs in-behind the opposition backline.

That might be because an increasing number of sources are now reporting that Heung-min Son is edging closer to a move to Los Angeles FC.

It was reported by TBR Football a couple of days ago that Rodrygo is one of the options on Tottenham’s radar to replace Son, with the Lilywhites allegedly wanting to sign a marquee attacker to replace the Spurs legend.
