Tottenham are reportedly eyeing a Bosman move for 18-year-old Barcelona wonderkid Dani Rodriguez heading into the summer.
According to SPORT, Barcelona could lose Dani Rodriguez on a free transfer ahead of the summer window, with Tottenham keen on the attacker. Spurs are now eyeing a Bosman move for the 18-year-old Barcelona wonderkid, although there might be an option to extend in Catalonia.
Tottenham eyeing Dani Rodriguez move
Tottenham are a club on the rise under Ange Postecoglou as they continue to plan and execute an idea to strengthen all aspects of their squad. The North Londoners have had some strong transfer windows since the Australian took over, as a sense of confidence is placed on his shoulders.
Spurs also had a solid end to the January transfer window, bringing in Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner. They will enter the summer window with renewed vigour and bring in more pieces to add to their puzzle to create a complete team.
While senior first-team stars are a priority for Spurs, they are also focused on strengthening their youth ranks, especially those on the brink of first-team football. For instance, Luka Vuskovic falls in that category, and they are now eyeing up a Bosman move for 18-year-old Barcelona wonderkid Dani Rodriguez.
Rodriguez’s contract expires in the summer, with Spurs now likely to make a serious effort to sign the attacker. He might be considered ideal to replace Bryan Gil, who seems primed to leave Spurs ahead of the summer window. Whether they will sign the 18-year-old Barcelona wonderkid remains the question, as any deal may be more complex.
Does Barcelona have an extension option?
While the report clearly states that Rodriguez’s contract ends at the end of the season, there are conflicting sources stating otherwise. Transfermarkt insists Barcelona have the option to extend Rodriguez’s contract by a further two years, which may complicate Tottenham’s plans to sign the 18-year-old on a Bosman deal.
Spurs might have shown an interest in the first place for the economic possibilities with the attacker. Should Barcelona have that option mentioned on Transfermarkt and then extend his stay, they will demand a fee in return for selling the player, which could further show how concrete Tottenham are in the chase.
