Spurs turn up the heat on €50M+ rated summer transfer target

Tottenham Hotspur wants to reportedly improve their attack by adding some scoring depth behind Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. Several names are popping up in the rumour mill, with the summer transfer window now open. One name is AS Roma’s Nicolò Zaniolo, and Sky Sports Italia reports that the sporting director for the Serie A side, Tiago Pinto, recently met with Zaniolo’s agent to discuss a possible contract extension for the player whose deal expires in 2024. 

Furthermore, the Italian media outlet states that Pinto met with Tottenham club chief Fabio Paratici to talk about the 23-year-old. Still, no offer or actual negotiations occurred between the two executives. Calciomercato estimate that the player is worth €50 million.

However, Spurs are interested in Zaniolo and will monitor how the contract extension talks between the two sides evolve. As a result, if Roma can’t sign their star right-winger to a new deal, the north London club will likely look to swoop in and land the Italy international.
