Club’s operation to sign Tottenham player ‘going very fast’ – Hope to close deal in ‘coming days’

Bryan Gil was not included in Antonio Conte’s plans at Tottenham Hotspur and that saw him join Valencia on a loan deal in the January window.

The La Liga side want to sign the midfielder again this summer, if reports are to be believed.

On Monday, AS explained Los Ches have it ‘clear’ that the Tottenham winger has to be Gonçalo Guedes’ successor at Mestalla.

Wednesday’s edition of the same newspaper states the operation to bring the 21-year-old to the club is ‘going very fast’. After the first call on Monday, they explain the negotiations have ‘intensified’ to sign him.

The Spaniard is delighted with the possibility of returning to Valencia and sees the move to be ‘close’. Los Ches, first, must find an agreement with Tottenham.

It’s claimed Spurs are open to a new loan deal for the former Sevilla man after finding out the chances of selling him this summer are slim. Like it happened in January, the temporary deal will also require a payment of around €1m.

Gil’s salary is something that needs to be negotiated since Gennaro Gattuso’s side cannot cover his full wages.

The player has not been told anything about his salary and these talks will take place once Tottenham and the Spanish club find an agreement for the transfer.

With Valencia ‘accelerating’ the negotiations, AS end the report by stating the parties hope to ‘close the transfer in the coming days’.
