Report: Tottenham has successfully signed Manchester City, Manchester United,and Liverpool’s target (DEAL ACCEPTED)

According to the print edition of Gazzetta Dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness), AS Roma will look to sell Tottenham target Roger Ibanez before the end of this month since they need to swiftly balance their finances.

We previously covered a report from Giallorossi.net, which named Tottenham and Atletico Madrid as the two clubs vying for Ibanez’s signature.

The publication claimed that neither club were willing to pay more than €20m (£17.1m), which falls well short of Roma’s valuation of the defender.

However, Gazzetta have now claimed that Ibanez ‘is leaving’ the Stadio Olimpico this summer, with the Serie A side already said to have made up their minds to cash in on the centre-back.

Roma looking for quick Ibanez sale
This is because Jose Mourinho’s men desperately need to raise funds before the end of this month in order to comply with the Financial Fair Play regulations. It is alleged that Roma want €30m (£25.6m) for Ibanez, who ‘has his suitcase ready’ to leave the Italian capital.

The report states that the Brazilian has admirers in the Premier League, with Tottenham being named but it is suggested that the Giallorrossi need offers to come ‘quickly’.

We know that Daniel Levy looks to take advantage of situations like this, as he did to sign Richarlison last summer right when Everton were running out of time and needed funds desperately.

It is not out of the question that the Spurs chairman might put in a cheeky £15m-£20m offer for Ibanez before the end of June.

Tottenham are likely to make wholesale changes to their defence this summer with question marks over the futures of Japhet Tanganga and Davinson Sanchez, while it is said that Spurs are in talks with Barcelona over a cut-price deal for Clement Lenglet.

‘They will pursue this’: Spurs think PL rival will lower their price for ‘incredible’ 27-year-old – Romano

Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Tottenham Hotspur think that Brentford’s asking price for David Raya will drop as Spurs close in on agreeing terms with the goalkeeper.

Romano was speaking to Caught Offside following the reports at the weekend that Tottenham are in talks with the Spaniard as they look to sign a replacement for Hugo Lloris.

There is certainly more than a small question mark hanging over the future of David Raya this summer. His contract at the Gtech Community Stadium expires in a year. And the Bees have signed a replacement.

Tottenham think Raya price will drop

Meanwhile, reports from the Evening Standard this weekend claimed Tottenham are closing in on agreeing personal terms with Raya.

However, there was still one major hurdle for Spurs to clear. Brentford want £40 million for the 27-year-old, while Tottenham want to pay considerably less.

However, there was still one major hurdle for Spurs to clear. Brentford want £40 million for the 27-year-old, while Tottenham want to pay considerably less.

It seemed safe to assume that the Bees would dig their heels in over the fee they want for Raya. But Romano has now suggested that Tottenham believe that a compromise will be reached.

“Raya remains Tottenham’s priority for the goalkeeper position and they will pursue this deal, but for the moment Brentford’s asking price of £40m is considered too high,” he told Caught Offside.

“Still, Spurs feel the price could change as Brentford have already signed a replacement in goal and Raya won’t sign a new deal there, while he’ll be out of contract next summer.”

The onus is absolutely on Tottenham to get a deal done. It must not be forgotten that they are looking to replace a player who has given them more than a decade of outstanding service.

Lloris is their captain. And for most of his time in North London, he has been the undisputed number one. This is not a position Spurs should look to fill on the cheap.

Raya is an ‘incredible‘ talent. And he has been brilliant at the highest level for the last two years. He is someone with the ability to step into the void Lloris will leave.

If Brentford continue to make it clear that it is £40 million or no deal, Tottenham surely have to pay the money. Their fans will not be happy if they come this far only to walk away.

If they do not sign Raya, they certainly better have something special in mind.
