Portuguese newspaper Record have a big article on Alex Grimaldo in their Monday edition, and Tottenham fans won’t be surprised to hear their club gets a mention.
It’s a transfer story which has been wheeled out repeatedly, but one which makes sense.
Record state Tottenham have put €30m ‘aside’ to sign Grimaldo, but first they need to find out what’s happening in-house.
Tottenham hope to ‘solve the situation’ of Danny Rose, with uncertainty still surrounding the England international’s future. What happens with Rose will have a direct impact upon what Spurs do with their interest in Benfica’s Grimaldo.
It’s a similar situation at Napoli, with the Serie A club wanting to work out both the fitness and transfer future of Faouzi Ghoulam before deciding on any Grimaldo move.
