A column in today’s HLN covered the situation with Tottenham and Moussa Dembele and explained the club are agreeing to a China move because they don’t want to stand in the player’s way.
It’s explained Spurs have agreed to an offer worth €12m from Beijing Guoan FC and aren’t even making an effort to deny the claims. The only step now if for the player to give everything the go-ahead.
The contract would be for a period of three years, taking Dembele to the age of 35, and he’d treble his current Tottenham wages, ending up on €10m a year.
The move is described as win-win, with Spurs pleased with the money for someone who can leave for free at the end of June.
be why they’re not pushing for more money. Whilst €12m sounds reasonable, it’s not such an impressive fee for a Chinese club signing a player of Dembele’s calibre.
Such a transfer has ‘blessing’ from the Premier League club, and it’s over to Dembele now.
Interestingly, HLN’s Kristof Terreur, who wrote the initial story, today tweeted a denial from the Chinese club over contact with the midfielder, although he insists there’s an offer on the table.
