Previously, 33-year-old Son Heung-min announced on his own that he would leave Tottenham this summer, creating a vacancy in the left winger position for the club. As a result, Tottenham and its chairman Daniel Levy hope to sign Rodrigo to fill this role.
Tottenham has been closely monitoring Rodrigo’s situation and has even submitted a request to Real Madrid, seeking permission to make contact with the player. From a financial perspective, funding is not a problem for Tottenham. With Son Heung-min’s departure, Tottenham will save the highest salary expense in the team, and this saved fund can be used to sign a genuine superstar—Rodrigo, who is exactly Tottenham’s dream target.
Furthermore, Tottenham can deploy Rodrigo in his best position as a left winger, where he can maximize his strength. However, pulling off this transfer will not be easy.
Despite Tottenham’s active moves in the transfer market, the club remains cautious about whether the deal can be finalized, as the biggest obstacle comes from Liverpool. Earlier, when Isak entered the transfer market, Liverpool paused their pursuit of Rodrigo because Isak is the type of striker Liverpool has been looking for.
Newcastle has rejected Liverpool’s £110 million offer for Isak. Currently, Liverpool has no plans to make another offer. Nevertheless, none of this has dashed Rodrigo’s hopes, and he is still waiting for Liverpool.
