Spurs are apparently back in for Tomori (who's not been a regular for AC Milan lately).
Tottenham Hotspur in talks to sign Fikayo Tomori from AC Milan
Tottenham Hotspur have a few quality central defenders in their squad, although it seems as if one of their best players, Radu Dragusin, is looking to leave the club to pursue regular minutes. AC Milan have been touted as the Romanian international’s next possible destination with Calcio Mercato...football-talk.co.uk
So let me get this right - AC Milan want to swap Tomori for Dragusin ?
I don't doubt that we have a interest in Tomori.
The bit about a swap for Dragusin however seems completely made up. Like, the dude is out until at least October if we are cautious with a ACL injury.
100m pair for me, selling to Atleti. This is a club that forked out 100m plus for teenage Joao Felix...
70-75 and I'm happy. Levy should really think about not scaring off a potential sale here- Romero is just not as committed to the club as he should be, and the club should be glad to do that sort of business while moving on a player who is about to be a ticking time bomb of lost value in short order.
If he walks on a free and we lose the 45m plus wages we spent on him instead of recouping fully, it would be terrible for the club. Levy needs to be aware that the time to make a sale is this summer, and the selling begins now.
Bare-minimum business Spurs- Romero/Bentancur sale edition:
Out 135m: Son 25m, Romero 70m, Bentancur 25m, Bissouma 15m, Werner (Loan), Tel (Loan)
In 135m: Cardoso 25m, Dibling 40m, Delap 40m, Ait Nouri 30m
ST: Dom, Del, Richy
LW/RW: Dibling, Del, Moore / Odo, Kulu, Johnson
CAM/CM/CDM: Madd, Kulu / Berg, Sarr / Gray, Cardoso
LB/RB: Ait-Nouri, Udog / Spence, Porro
CB: VdV, Danso, Dragusin, Vuskovic, Gray
GK: Vic, Austin, GK3
Loan out: Lankshear, Yang, Devine, Donley, Phillips, Kinsky, other youth (Ajayi?)
EDIT: My intial math was poor- it does actually look like we can break even on our necessary business- mostly depending on a strong Romero sale price. I think 4-5 in and 4-5 out is about what we can reasonably expect in the summer.

If true, it looks as if Romero will soon play in La Liga..

I doubt it's only Man Utd that Spurs have to battle with if he's available. Chelski for sure need quality CBs

I do hope we sell him for as much as possible. Anything we can to make Levy happier and more willing to spend.
Despite him harvesting a mixed bag of players with the Bale proceeds, he at least showed he is capable of dynamic moves when handed a windfall profit.
There's absolutely no way we win a bidding war for him if we can't even stump up the funds for Guehi. I suspect at most we'll be a journalistic inclusion to help Everton create the appearance of a bidding war.
Does he not have a terrible attitude?

Thing can change but his attitude problems is the reason why no big clubs have taken the risk oh him (yet). Hatem Ben Arfa and Ndombele are 2 other player with world class talent with an awful attitude...
Supposedly he’s a bit of twerp. Very talented.
With our recent record of moody French mavericks, there is no chance of Cherki coming here. He’ll probably end up at the chavs.
If we get £60-70m for Romero the money is doable. I just don’t see why he would come to us or United, he’d be better staying at Everton for a year or two then going somewhere like City or Madrid when the option comes. If we can do it though I honestly think he is in raw ability terms an upgrade on Romero and VDV. Got the tools to be very special. He should develop at Everton if I am being honest then move a few years later.

Did anyone watch him last night for the U21. Seriously lads do not be fooled paying the money these people are asking for would be insanity. On last night I'd buy Philogene from Ipswich for 30 and flog Johnson.
He’s had some clashes with coaches, but he’s also produced g+a consistently since he was 17. The fact is if there weren’t some shortcomings in his game he’d be at PSG or City already such is his talent. The challenge is to find a good coach who can mould imperfect talents like this into a cogent team.
Bruno Genesio would probably be the best bet. He was at Lyon when Cherki just broke into the team and when Tanguy was there. He was able to get Tanguy to perform well enough to get ours and other clubs eyes on him.
He's honestly not a bad shout for a future Spurs manager. Has his teams playing good football, is used to working in chaotic environments and has produced consistently good results at multiple French clubs.
If Dibling and Delap are our two main transfers we are fucked (yet again).
Tomori. No. Chasing our tail for that one as he dont want to join us. First hire of summer should be vertonghen as hes retiring. Club ambassador or involved with academy.
