Tottenham have 27 days to reach transfer agreement as sources speak out
Tottenham face a ticking clock if they are to reach an agreement to kickstart their transfer business.
While Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs future hangs in the balance, the North London club are not messing around when it comes to players.
Daniel Levy now has the proposition of Champions League football to tempt high-quality players to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs now face a decision on one of their prime targets if they are to sign him, and the opportunity is indeed there.
Time running out for Tottenham to secure deal
By defeating Manchester United in the Europa League final, Tottenham are now in a strong position in the transfer market.
Several high-profile names have been linked with a move to North London, including Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane.
Indeed, the Lilywhites are pursuing players from across Europe, with Real Betis’ Johnny Cardoso a player under consideration.
| Johnny Cardoso’s 2024/25 La Liga statistics | Total |
| Appearances (starts) | 28 (24) |
| Goals | 3 |
| Assists | 1 |
| Touches | 54.4 |
| Accurate passes | 33.9 (86%) |
| Tackles per game | 2 |
Spurs have had the opportunity to sign the midfielder since the start of June, but are yet to approach.
Tottenham have until the end of the month to reach an agreement with Cardoso and Betis, according to Diario de Sevilla (4 June).
However, they state that their sources claim that the North London club have no intention of doing so, with a move to Atletico Madrid on the cards instead.
Spurs must invest in central-midfield upgrade
Central-midfield must be a priority area for Tottenham this summer, if they are to challenge on all fronts next season.
The Lilywhites will be playing a high volume of games and of an increased standard, meaning they need numbers as well as quality.
Spurs already possess Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, and Pape Matar Sarr in the hub of midfield, but they have endured mixed seasons.
At 23, Cardoso is a player with potential and has European experience, having played in the Europa Conference League final.
Whether or not they move for Cardoso, Levy must bring in a midfielder to challenge the current crop.
