Pape Matar Sarr has been linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season.
The 23-year-old is a phenomenal talent with a bright future, and top clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are monitoring his situation. Tottenham have had a disappointing season, and they could go down in the summer. They will be forced to sell key players if they are relegated at the end of the season.
The Senegal International will not want to compete in the second division of English football, and he could look to move on at the end of the season. The opportunity to play for Real Madrid or Bayern Munich will be quite exciting for him. Furthermore, with the World Cup coming up, there will be prying eyes on him. If he manages to impress with his country, there is likely to be more interest in his services.

Pete O’Rourke told Football Insider: “He’s obviously a big player for Senegal, and if he goes away to the World Cup and does well for them at the finals, it’s only going to enhance his reputation and maybe bring even further interest in him.
“If Tottenham were to get relegated from the Premier League, it’s inevitable that they’re going to lose some of their top players.
“I’m sure clubs are waiting and ready to pounce if that does happen, and Sarr will be one of those players that clubs will be looking at.
“Although he’s under contract until 2030, Tottenham might reluctantly have to cash in on him if they do (get relegated).”
Can Spurs hold on to Sarr?
The 23-year-old is likely to cost a substantial sum because of his long-term contract, but Spurs will find it extremely difficult to hold onto the player if they go down. They must do everything in their power to secure safety in the top flight.
Sarr is a talented young player with a bright future, and he could develop into a complete central midfielder with the right coaching. He has shown that he can control the game with his passing and help out defensively as well. Tottenham need players of his quality at the club, and it remains to be seen whether they can hold onto him.
