Tottenham submit opening offer for Rodrygo amid £70m Real Madrid price tag
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly taken a big step in their rumoured pursuit of Real Madrid superstar Rodrygo, who has changed his stance on his future.
Regular readers of Spurs Web will be aware that several Spanish outlets have claimed over the past few weeks that Tottenham are advancing their interest in Rodrygo.
In fact, some sources have even claimed that Spurs are emerging as Rodrygo’s most likely destination this summer after the interest of their Premier League rivals in the player cooled.
Journalist Ben Jacobs revealed last week that Fabio Paratici has made contact with Rodrygo’s camp to find out if he would be open to a move to N17, and a new update has now suggested that the Lilywhites have now taken a significant step towards landing the 24-year-old.
Tottenham submit opening offer for Real Madrid star Rodrygo
This update comes from Marca, who reveal that all parties have accepted that the winger will not have a key role under Xabi Alonso at the Spanish captain.
While Rodrygo was initially keen to stay in Madrid, he is now more open to an exit, and the change in his stance has alerted intermediaries, who have already contacted Real Madrid to find out the conditions needed to sign him.
The report says Los Blancos want €70m-€80m (£60.8m-£70m) for the Brazil international, and it is asserted that Tottenham Hotspur have already made an opening offer for the player.
While the value of Spurs’ offer is not mentioned, it is revealed that the North Londoners are now awaiting a response from Real Madrid.
Two other Premier League clubs are also circling over Rodrygo
Marca say that Tottenham may not have a straight run at the Real Madrid star as they also name Liverpool and Chelsea as contenders for the player’s signature.
It is alleged that the Reds are eyeing Rodrygo as a potential alternative to Newcastle’s Alexander Isak this summer, even though the two players do not play in the same position.
The publication thus appears convinced that the Premier League is Rodrygo’s most likely destination this summer, but it remains to be seen if Tottenham would be willing to pay a club-record fee for the pacy winger.
