I think those of you who vouched for Spurs to sign Ginter have over-estimated him a bit
Given the massive disparity in revenue between the two clubs which has allowed Bayern to ink Dortmund’s stars in the past, I’d say that Dortmund are at least punching their weight.
Should he leave Barca it looks as if Man Utd or Bayern will be his destination.. £58m is a lots of money, and he's not done that well for Barca...but he could be the missing piece in Spurs' MF...

Manchester United have received a major boost in their bid to sign midfielder Frenkie de Jong with Barcelona looking to sell the Dutchman this summer for around £58million.
De Jong, who joined Barcelona from Ajax for £64m in 2019, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford following the news of Erik ten Hag's appointment.
The 24-year-old played under the Dutch manager during his time at Ajax, where Ten Hag helped him develop and attract interest from Barca among other elite clubs, following a string of superb displays during the 2018-19 season.

That deal is impossible. De Jong will try to get a move another super club like Bayern, or Juve. Failing that he'll go after money at United, Chavs etc.Frenkie de Jong admits he nearly joined Tottenham before Barcelona move
New Barcelona signing Frenkie de Jong has revealed he was tempted to join Tottenham last summer.www.skysports.com
Wonder if this history would make a possible move to us more or less likely...
I mean, it's definitely not going to happen but he could be great for us
All I know is he must be first team ready. Our new policy mandates it!
Especially when your hometown club is on the cusp of its first ever European campaign.
Questionable - they’ll still be managed by Artwatta. He’s not as big a draw as you think and even IF they got CL, knocked out in group stages.
It would remind me of that time we put a bid in for Danny Ings just to cost them a few million in homegrown compensation towards Burnley.Liverpool are apparently the leading candidate but I'd like for Spurs to make an offer of, say, £60m so Liverpool have to better that offer as a "thanks" for last time
Report: Liverpool Contact Aurelien Tchouameni Over Summer Transfer | Jurgen Klopp 'Loves' The Player
Whilst Jurgen Klopp is preparing his Liverpool side for (another) Champions League semi-final, reports have come out of France stating that Liverpool have made initial contact with AS Monaco midfielder, Aurélien Tchouaméni.www.si.com
Did some mandatory youtube scouting and he seems good in the air based on the limited number of headers in this video. But he is 6ft5 so you'd hope that he was good in the air.

they won't be. It took Klopp 3.5 years to win the title and overhaul his squad. We are quite some way off them and city (look at the points). You also forget that under Levy we don't exactly show ambition in the transfer market when on an upward trajectory. If we get 4th, I expect that we will get 2 signings that will end up improving the team, and another 1-2 that don't make an impact. 3rd next season and much closer on pts to the top 2 would represent good progression
