Tottenham Hotspur are said to have made a ‘crazy offer’ for Galatasaray duo Nicolo Zaniolo and Victor Nelsson this summer.
The Ange Postecoglou era at Tottenham begins today, but the Australian has clearly had an impact on the transfers that have already taken place – Dejan Kulusevski’s loan contract was made permanent before Guglielmo Vicario and James Maddison were brought in.
Tottenham want to be active in current transfer window, according to Turkish website Milliyet, and Danel Levy has made a ‘crazy offer’ for two Galatasaray players.
Tottenham will need at least one new central defender this summer, and a versatile attacker would be ideal.
Victor Nelsson and Nicolo Zaniolo of Galatasaray have both been linked with a move to Spurs for some time now, with the Italian a long-term target.
According to the report, Tottenham has made a ‘crazy offer’ for both of them this summer, earning a guaranteed fee of between £25.8 million and £30 million plus two or three players in exchange.
The newspaper does not identify who players Tottenham has offered in the swap deal, but it is apparent that Gala are currently unwilling to accept this proposition.
According to reports, the Turkish giants are willing to let both players leave provided Spurs meet their combined valuation of £51.5 million.
Zaniolo has four years left on his Galatasaray contract, while Nelsson has three. This gives the Turks an advantage in transfer discussions.
Tottenham’s priority after signing James Maddison must be new centre-backs.
Yes, Zaniolo is a brilliant attacking player, but Spurs already have plenty of players in the places he plays, and with no Champions League football next season, there is no imminent need for him.
However, a center-back is an urgent requirement right now, and Nelsson, 24, is a highly excellent player.
However, we’re confident that most Tottenham fans would prefer buy Edmond Tapsoba or Micky van de Ven this summer than the Galatasaray star.
