Tottenham is open to offers for seven players as part of a big summer makeover worth £220m.
This summer, Tottenham is entering new territory after spending a huge £237 million on new players. To make room in the squad, several players might leave the club.
Fans around the world are thrilled as Spurs have already broken their transfer record twice—first signing Mateus Fernandes from West Ham for £85 million, then bringing in Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United for an incredible £100 million.
Fernandes and Tonali arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Jan Paul van Hecke joined from Brighton for £52 million. On top of that, Roberto De Zerbi has also signed Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Martin Dubravka on free transfers.
The Lilywhites have been very active in the summer transfer window to show they still belong in the “big six” club, despite finishing 17th twice in a row. Their efforts to sign proven Premier League stars hint that their luck might be turning around.
Now, Tottenham looks set to spend on attacking players after strengthening their defense and midfield. To follow the Premier League’s 25-man squad rule, though, the club needs to sell some players, opening the door for a few exits.
This fits with their new approach of selling players at the right time and for good value. This started in January when Brennan Johnson left for Crystal Palace for £35 million, and it’s set to continue this summer.
Spurs have already agreed to sell promising defender Luka Vuskovic to Brighton for £46 million. Reports say another six players could leave as the squad gets a big shake-up.
Radu Dragusin has gone on a season-long loan to Fiorentina, and Preston North End paid a club-record fee to sign midfielder Alfie Devine on a five-year deal.
Tottenham may also consider offers for Djed Spence, Cristian Romero, Guglielmo Vicario, and Lucas Bergvall, potentially bringing in as much as £222 million from sales.
Coach De Zerbi can’t build a large squad for European games right now, and with six signings already made, selling players is necessary. That’s why top first-team players like Spence, Romero, Vicario, and Bergvall might leave. This supports what Tottenham’s CEO Vinai Venkatesham said earlier this year.
He explained, “Player trading is about knowing when to sell and moving on players who aren’t in our future. This helps us get the best value and stay within financial rules. We aren’t immune to these rules, so we must manage our squad carefully.”
It seems everyone at Tottenham is working together, and once more players leave, fans can get excited about the new signings joining De Zerbi’s project.
