Tottenham willing to ‘invest heavily’ for signing – Sale to Spurs favoured despite Barcelona’s advances

Tottenham Hotspur to Challenge Barcelona for Monaco’s Vanderson in Summer Transfer Race

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to go head-to-head with European giants Barcelona in the race to sign Brazilian right-back Vanderson from AS Monaco this summer.

According to UOL Esporte, Spurs have emerged as serious contenders for the 23-year-old defender, who has long been on the radar of several top clubs. The report highlights that both Tottenham and Barcelona have monitored Vanderson’s progress for some time, but the battle for his signature is now intensifying as the summer transfer window approaches.

Barcelona, the reigning Spanish champions, are said to be banking on Vanderson’s desire to wear the iconic Blaugrana shirt. The Catalan side have reportedly ramped up negotiations in recent weeks and are hopeful that the player’s preference for playing in La Liga—and specifically for a club of Barcelona’s stature—will work in their favour.

However, Tottenham are not backing down. The North London club are keen to strengthen their squad under their new leadership and view Vanderson as an ideal candidate to bolster their right flank. Spurs are prepared to make a firm offer and believe they can lure the Monaco star to the Premier League with the promise of regular football and a central role in their project.

Vanderson, known for his pace, dribbling, and attacking output from deep positions, has become one of Monaco’s standout performers in Ligue 1. His profile fits both clubs’ tactical needs, making the transfer battle particularly intriguing.

While Barcelona are confident they have the upper hand due to the player’s admiration for the club, Tottenham’s ambition and financial capacity could make this a very close race. The coming weeks will be crucial as both clubs try to convince Vanderson to choose their project ahead of next season.
