According to the Ass, Son Heung-min's departure gave Tottenham a chance to sign Rodrigo, but the players are waiting for Liverpool's call.
33-year-old Son Heung-min previously announced that he would leave Tottenham this summer, which made Tottenham's left winger vacant, and Levi hoped to let Rodrigo be the successor.
Earlier, media revealed that Tottenham has been closely following Rodrigo's movements and has even applied to Real Madrid to contact him. Rodrigo's contract with Real Madrid will last until 2028, and he has never publicly expressed his desire to leave the team. But Rodrigo's playing time has been reduced since Xavi Alonso began coaching in the Club World Cup; and with the addition of Mastantono and Gonzalo Garcia's strong rise, Rodrigo's position has been further challenged.
Funding is not a problem from an economic perspective. With Son Heung-min's departure, Tottenham will save the highest salary expenditure in the team, with Son Heung-min's annual salary exceeding 11 million euros. This space can be used to introduce a real superstar, and Tottenham is Rodrigo.
In addition, Tottenham can let Rodrigo play in the left winger position where he is best, which is his most comfortable and threatening area, and it has been firmly occupied by Vinicius in Real Madrid. However, this transfer is not easy to achieve.
With an American investor entering, Tottenham Hotspur has ushered in new momentum under the leadership of Levi, especially returning to the Champions League has also become a bargaining chip to attract big-name stars. But Levi will not act at will, and he will still advance the signing as planned.
At present, Tottenham's focus is still to complete the transfer of Paligna, and he is the goal that the new coach Frank asked for. By the time Paligna is successfully introduced, Tottenham will consider whether to bring an end to the transfer market by introducing Rodrigo.
Although Tottenham is actively operating, the club is actually reserved about whether the transfer can be carried out, because the biggest resistance comes from the shadow of Liverpool. Previously, Liverpool suspended its pursuit of Rodrigo after Isaac entered the market, because Isaac was the kind of striker Liverpool was looking for, and perhaps he could prove what Nunes had never proved.
British media reported that Newcastle has rejected Liverpool's offer of 140 million euros to Isaac. Although Liverpool has negotiated a personal agreement with Isaac (the contract period is 2031, the team's third highest salary), there is no intention to make another offer.
However, all this did not end Rodrigo's hope, and he was still waiting for Liverpool.
