“Unbelievable and Shock news to the fans”- Tottenham have taken a dramatic decision to put £110,000-per-week star for sale despite being being as important as Son
Tottenham Hotspur’s hierarchy has made a significant decision this summer by listing a “fantastic” key player for sale, signaling a bold move in Ange Postecoglou’s extensive squad rebuild. The club has already agreed to numerous player departures as part of a large-scale overhaul aimed at reshaping the team’s future.
Technical director Johan Lange, along with the broader recruitment team at Spurs, has approved the exits of several senior players. Reports indicate that more members of Postecoglou’s squad could soon join this exodus as part of the transformation strategy.
Reliable sources, including esteemed journalists Fabrizio Romano and Paul O’Keefe, have reported that Girona is currently in negotiations to sign out-of-favor Spurs winger Bryan Gil. Additionally, Richarlison has drawn significant interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, highlighting the growing appeal of the Saudi Pro League. The future of Giovani Lo Celso also hangs in the balance, as he had limited opportunities under Postecoglou last season, often being overlooked when the preferred starters were fit and available.
In a notable move, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has secured a transfer to Marseille on an initial loan deal. This arrangement is set to become a permanent transfer for £17 million next summer, as reported by Sky Sports. Hojbjerg’s departure aligns with several other exits, including those of Ryan Sessegnon, Japhet Tanganga, Eric Dier, Ivan Perisic, Tanguy Ndombele, and Joe Rodon, who have already left the club. Intriguingly, even Son Heung-min has been linked with a potential exit. The South Korean superstar’s contract is due to expire next summer, and Saudi club Al-Ahli has expressed keen interest in acquiring his services. However, it is widely believed that chairman Daniel Levy is highly unlikely to sanction the sale of the 32-year-old, given his crucial role in Postecoglou’s plans.
In response to these significant departures, Spurs have been proactive in reinvesting in the squad. They have successfully signed young talent Archie Gray from Leeds United for a substantial £40 million fee. Additionally, Tottenham has secured an extension on Timo Werner’s loan deal for another season, bolstering their attacking options. Rumors also suggest that Tottenham is still in the market for an additional attacking signing before the transfer window closes on August 30, indicating that Levy and Lange are meticulously strategizing their next moves.
In a recent development, reports from Italy have introduced a surprising twist. Tottenham might be willing to sell key winger Dejan Kulusevski, despite his vital role in the team. The Swedish international played 36 Premier League matches last season, starting 31 of them, and contributed 11 goals, cementing his status as a regular starter under Postecoglou. However, Calciomercato.it claims that Tottenham chiefs are open to offers for the 24-year-old, marking a potentially significant shift in their squad dynamics.
Kulusevski, who earns £110,000 per week, initially joined Tottenham on loan in January 2022. The deal became permanent in the summer of 2023, reflecting his impressive performances and the club’s long-term plans. Despite his first-team status and recent contributions, Tottenham appears willing to entertain bids, potentially from Napoli. Former Spurs manager Antonio Conte, who has shown a particular interest in Kulusevski, could look to bring the winger to his new club. Conte has previously lauded the winger, stating in 2022, “I think he is showing that he is a fantastic player for the present but also if he continues in this way he can become a really important player. He is strong physically, good technically; he has no fear of the opponent or the tackle.”
As Postecoglou’s squad overhaul continues to take shape, the potential sale of Kulusevski raises questions about Tottenham’s future strategies. The club might demand a marquee fee for the 24-year-old, given that he still has four years remaining on his contract. This period of transition under Postecoglou is marked by a blend of strategic departures and ambitious signings, aimed at building a robust and competitive squad for the upcoming season and beyond. As the transfer window approaches its final stages, the movements at Tottenham Hotspur will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike, eager to see the new-look team that emerges from this transformative summer.
