If - I repeat if - this is true (that Real M. will activate the buy-back clause) then Spurs will need to look for 1 or 2 LB's. I thought the buy-back clause was £40M and no longer valid but maybe I'm wrong. Ryan Sessegnon would have been a good replacement if he hadn't been so injury-prone (which has affected his development).
4 players come to my mind

Angelino,
Aaron Buchanan Hickey,
Omar Richards (understudy)
Lucas Netz
Theo Hernandez (doubt Spurs could afford him)

Serious blow for Conte as report claims Real Madrid will rip ‘safe bet’ star from Tottenham​

Date published: Wednesday 2nd February 2022 1:20 - James Marshment

Tottenham are seemingly preparing for the summer departure of Sergio Reguilon after a report claimed Real Madrid have decided to activate the buy-back clause in his contract.

Spurs have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions so far this season. They sat atop the Premier League table after three matches before a dismal run of form saw them freefall into mid-table. That run of form ultimately cost Nuno Espirito Santo his job, with Antonio Conte brought in as a replacement.

If I remember correctly Real Madrid have an option for the 2 years from date of purchase (ie up to June 2022) to buy Reguilon back at a price (I thought) of more like £35m rather than £40m.

So yes we might need to look at LWB's

But I'm not sure Madrid are THAT interested in Reguilon as he's been 'ok' rather than good.
 


We need to hope PSG offload a few players to allow them to buy Ndombele for £50m+

I'm not too interested in players they want to offload on grounds of age - fine for a year loan maybe but not to buy

I mentioned in the transfer thread something to do with mendes. Why is he involved? Surely the DOF contacts the club to enquire first? Why would we need mendes to get involved? Football is fucked up. The DOF should do the negotiating for the buying club with the player, his club and his agents if necessary.

In he case of Diaz, Porto apparently appointed Mendes. Nothing that Spurs can do if another club appoints him.
 
If we’re buying a goalkeeper and striker for backup purposes, I would prefer them to be homegrown. I don’t see the point of wasting a non homegrown spot on someone like Gollini who makes a handful of starts. There are serviceable backups (someone already mentioned Forster?) like we found in Hart.

Similarly, a Llorente type striker if he’s going to be cover and handed just a couple of spot starts.

Obviously, I’m not talking about true understudies who will eventually replace Hugo and Harry.

I think the Mendes thing must be a red herring. If Porto involved him, would that not be the same for us and Liverpool.

More likely is Porto/Mendes played us and Liverpool off against each other to get a deal done.

Up to Porto what remit he was given - it could be they wanted a middleman between them and Spurs but not Liverpool, only Porto and Mendez will know for sure.

But agree with 2nd sentence, although it could genuinely be the players choice, and Liverpool could have influenced Mendez by offering him the agent role to place Mane abroad in a year or so.

So many possibilities, by the reported Spurs anger suggest they thought that they had been played by Porto/Mendez.

I know many aren't keen on Winks but to have a regular bench-player who doesn't complain about it (at least not to the media) is an asset in itself. And he's HG.
As for Højbjerg, I think his abilities are (much) better suited in a 3-man MF where his lack of pace is not exposed as much. So, if a good offer came in for him and a top-class CM was lined up I'd let him go. I would miss his non-nonsense attitude though.
Aurélien Tchouamén is already out of reach for Spurs, of course (unless Lewis mortgages his yacht), and he's apparently set for Real M. But rumours are that if that deal goes through then Eduardo Camavinga wants to leave. He won't come cheap but at least worth a bid.

Camavinga is already signed by Real Madrid, they loaned him back for the year.
 
Botman is a bit overrated in my opinion, hasn’t been that great this year for Lille. Haven’t really watched Gvardiol too much for Leipzig so I can’t say much but I can tell you all that Bastoni should be our #1 target for the summer, any position. For me he is the best LCB in the world and he is like a wingback and centreback combined into one player. Conte and him are a match made in heaven

Sorry, I did not get your point.
I already stated that Real M. have bought him - and that he is not getting regular football. He is not loaned back to Rennes or any other club.
Yes, he's young so he's got to bid his time but if Real M. gets Aurélien Tchouamén and Pogba for the next season then Camavinga won't get much playing time. It was just a suggestion but I have doubts about how realistic it would be as richer clubs than Spurs would also be after him if he was for sale...

For the left sided centre back spot I’m guessing.

Botman hasn't followed up his 2 last seasons and not developed as expected; and is a bit slow.
If Bastini becomes available not even Conte can tempt him to Spurs as there will be bigger and richer clubs after him (and most Italian top players prefer to remain in Italia).
So Gvardiol will be the player to target. He's only 20 so he may need some time to settle into the EPL should he come.

Wasn’t the word coming out of Madrid earlier in the season that they weren’t interested in Pogba even if he was free?
