If Ange Postecoglou remains at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur by the end of this season, it’s likely he will pursue a €100m-rated player who has been labeled as ‘impressive.’
Reports have already suggested how many matches Postecoglou needs to secure his position, indicating that his future is not guaranteed.
Tottenham Aiming for a ‘Proper Player’
Fabrizio Romano provided an update on Spurs’ managerial situation after their recent exit from the Carabao Cup.
Despite Tottenham’s current challenges, they are eager to be considered potential employers for a player that sources label as ‘impressive.’
Richard Rios has recently signed a new contract with Palmeiras, which runs until 2028 (transfermarkt), and it is believed this contract includes a €100m release clause.
Sources indicate that West Ham, Nottingham Forest, and Tottenham are closely monitoring the Colombian midfielder’s situation and are prepared to make a move in the upcoming summer transfer window. However, it seems that these Premier League clubs are reluctant to meet the full asking price.
Richard Rios Will Cost Tottenham €100m
Tottenham was reportedly keen on securing Rios during the January transfer window; however, the discussions did not progress far due to Palmeiras’ insistence on the full release clause amount.
Alternative transfer strategies, possibly involving player trades plus cash, will be necessary if Rios is to join Tottenham in the summer.
Given Rios’ importance in Palmeiras’ plans, it is clear that negotiating this transfer will be challenging.
The Athletic described him in a live blog as a ‘proper player’ and ‘a wizard.’
It’s understandable why the Brazilian club would be holding firm on this occasion.
