Tottenham are reportedly about to submit a bid for right-back target Vanderson, despite recent claims they are not keen on a new defender.
According to Bruno Andrade, Tottenham are pushing ahead with their pursuit of Vanderson, as they are now about to submit a decent offer to Monaco. Spurs are expected to propose €32 million in fixed fee and more in add-ons that could potentially take them closer to the asking price for the Brazilian defender.
Tottenham to make Vanderson bid?
Tottenham are still active in the market despite making some interesting signings so far. They splashed a massive fee to sign striker Dominic Solanke and brought in young stars Archie Gray and Wilson Odobert during the summer.
They also sold Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Emerson Royal, as reports strongly suggested they intend to sign replacements for either star. Monaco full-back Vanderson is a player of interest for Spurs, as they have opened talks to sign him.
Spurs were expected to make a bid, but so far, none have been forthcoming. Journalist Bruno Andrade now insists that Tottenham are set to offer €32 million plus more in add-ons for the Brazilian defender as talks with Monaco continue to progress. The French giants are reportedly demanding around €40 million.
Their expected offer might come close to that valuation, although there’s also a chance that Monaco might reject it in favour of asking for a better deal. In any case, Tottenham is showing the intention to bring a quality competitor for current first-choice right-back Pedro Porro despite claims to the contrary.
Spurs bid refutes Fabrizio Romano’s claims
Only days ago did Fabrizio Romano claimed that Spurs did not intend to sign a new defender, explicitly talking about the right-back position. He insisted Tottenham have no clear targets while not being desperate to bring a new player into the position, as he mentioned that they trusted their internal options, such as Djed Spence and even new arrival Gray, who can play there.
Should Spurs follow up on Bruno Andrade’s claim and make that offer for Vanderson, it could be an indirect refute towards Romano’s claims. Either way, the Brazilian defender will improve Tottenham and bring about competition in an area that Ange Postecoglou will rely on in the long season ahead.
