Tottenham Talk Saturday 10th
Good morning once again folks and welcome to another edition of Tottenham Talk which includes some Tottenham Transfer Talk today.
Tottenham Transfer Talk
Matthias Ginter
The right-footed FIFA World Cup winner only has a year left on his contract and his experience could prove valuable to a young side.
Tottenham are not deviating from a policy of developing youth, but that also needs experience to play alongside, train with and learn from.
Vertonghen went, Alderweireld wants a return to Ajax, which if happens, will leave a position for a 'Daddy' centre-back.
It's a role 28-year-old (29 next April) Ben Davies could take over too.
Let me just run off at that tangent for a moment at Davies gets a lot of unjust stick.
He is basically a dependable defender who defends more than he attacks.
Every squad needs players like Davies, who can be relied on to do a decent job and don't command a huge salary.
Every squad needs players, especially homegrown players, whose salary allows money to be spent elsewhere.
Back to Ginter.
Borussia Mönchengladbach Sporting Director Max Eberl said recently to Bild;
"The ten golden years in which there was always more and more money are over."Players, agents, clubs—everyone has to take a step back."
Ginter earns €3.5 million a year (£3.01m - US$4.15m - AUS$5.58m) and the German club can only offer him a contract extension on a lower salary.
That relates to about £59,615-a-week.
The parties will sit down to discuss it in the next couple of weeks.
He was asked about his situation on Thursday of last week and he didn't want to comment saying;
"Currently, there is nothing to talk about, there have been no talks. There have been no negotiations or other talks to renew my contract, that is normal during a tournament."
It is believed Ginter wants UEFA Champions League football to push new German national boss Hansi Flick for a regular berth in the team.
Youssef En-Nesyri
The left-footer has scored 40 goals in 143 LaLiga games with 5 assists, 6 goals in 8 UEFA Champions League games.
Other reports suggest Wolves are preparing a €40m (£34.37m - US$47.38m - AUS$63.79m) and that he doesn't want to leave Sevilla, why would he if they are in the Champions League unless it was for money?
Sevilla however, need to raise money, like every other club in Europe, the pandemic has had a detrimental affect on their finances with no crowds and reduced TV and broadcasting money.
Goal contributions (G+A) by U23 players in all comps 20/21
53 - Kylian Mbappé (PSG)
51 - Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund)
35 - Jadon Sancho (Manchester United)
34 - Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)
26 - Lautaro Martínez (Inter Milan)
24 - Dušan Vlahović (Fiorentina)
24 - Youssef En-Nesyri (Sevilla)
24 - Moussa Diaby (Bayer Leverkusen)
Real Madrid are interested in him after he scored 18 LaLiga goals in 38 games with Spanish reports suggesting Sevilla want €80m (£68.73m - US$94.77m - AUS$127.60m) which must be his release clause amount.
Mert Müldür
Another Italian-based player Paratici has been following is 22-year-old (23 next April) Sassuolo defender Mert Müldür.
The Turkish international (10 caps, 1 assist) is a right-back who can play in a variety of positions, centre-back, right sided midfielder or left-back for instance.
West Ham and Arsenal have been credited with a link to him.
Daichi Kamada
The attacking midfielder has scored 7 goals and had 21 assists in 63 Bundesliga games.
Various reports suggest he wants a transfer and that Eintracht Frankfurt want €30m (£25.78m - US$35.54m - AUS$47.85m) for him.
Others value him at €23m (£19.76m - US$27.24m - AUS$36.67m) while Sevilla only want to offer €5m (£4.3m - US$5.92m - AUS$7.97m).
We are nearer the Sevilla figure than the Eintracht Frankfurt offer.
"He waited so long for his first goals, perhaps the dam’s broken. He was brilliant, he’s a fantastic player." - Frankfurt sporting director Fredi Bobic following Kamada’s brace against Arsenal
Transfer Snippets
American international (8 caps) centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers prefers a move to Celtic over Bournemouth, where he had a successful loan spell last season and Newcastle United.
Spurs are asking for £10m for the 23-year-old (24 in December) defender but interested parties want to pay £5m.
Tottenham have made an enquiry for Mahmoud Dahoud, the Borussia Dortmund central midfielder.
The 25-year-old (26 next January) also interests Chelsea, Manchester United, Everton and Arsenal.
The German international is worth about €18m (£15.46m - US$21.29m - AUS$28.63m), until he signs a new contract, as currently he only has a year remaining on his current deal.
AC Milan are once again looking at 28-year-old (29 in December) right-back Serge Aurier. They did last summer and nothing became of it in the end.
He only has a year left on his contract and Spurs are looking for €10m (£8.59m - US$11.84m - AUS$15.91m) for him.
Also interested in him are Spartak Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen and Atlético Madrid to replace Kieran Trippier, who is keen on a move to Manchester United.
Tottenham are watching the situation of 24-year-old (25 next May) Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembélé who has not yet signed a contract extension at the Camp Nou.
He has a year left on his contract and Barca are in financial difficulty so can't afford for players to leave the club as free agents.
