Tottenham Hotspur will now find plenty of time to attack Brentford for Ivan Toney, while Sevilla have had the chance to sign two of Ange Postecoglou’s players, according to reports.
Tottenham are still searching for a new striker who can upgrade Harry Kane well, and Postecoglou has decided he does not need to rely on Richarlison up front in the 2024-25 campaign. Tottenham bosses are willing to make big offers for Richarlison in the hope he will give them the budget to complete a deal for the striker.
Due to Richarlison’s difficulties in north London, the only parties likely to pay between £50m and £60m for him are those in Saudi Arabia.
Toney received a grant to upgrade Richarlison at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The centre-forward has entered the final year of his contract at Brentford, setting up a potential £40m summer transfer fee.
Spurs recently gained a boost when it emerged that Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea had cooled their interest in Toney. This sparked a war of movement for the 28-year-old between Spurs and London rivals West Ham United.
But according to the latest reports in the English press, Brentford is more likely to stay with Toney after suffering a setback.
Brentford signed Igor Thiago as a replacement for the English star, but the former suffered a knee in pre-season.
As such, Brentford can simply ask for more cash before promoting Toney to Spurs, or even save him from leaving altogether.
This would force Postecoglou and Spurs to pay attention to other strikers, with Lille’s Jonathan David being an option.
Meanwhile, reports in Spain claim that agents have “offered” Spurs duo Sergio Reguilon and Bryan Gil to Sevilla as a double deal.
Sevilla coach Garcia Pimienta is looking for a new left-back as he does not believe in Adria Pedrosa’s abilities, while Marcos Acuna could also leave.
Sevilla were lucky enough to bring in Reguilon, who Postecoglou said he could not find a new club because he was not part of the coach’s plans for the future.
La Liga knows Reguilon well, having inspired there on loan in the 2019-20 season before joining Spurs.
The 27-year-old full-back is reportedly open to joining Manchester United, but such a move would be surprising given he failed to make much of an impact while on loan at Old Trafford during the early part of the game. the last season.
Sevilla also received grants to re-sign winger Gil, who built a reputation at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium before moving to Spurs in July 2021.
However, this agreement at the moment seems doomed to failure, as Gil has agreed non-public terms with Girona and is getting closer to making this move.
