Real Betis will be very happy with Fernando Llorente, explain El Gol.
It’s not because they want to sign the striker, although that doesn’t seem too ridiculous a prospect, it’s that they feel him potentially renewing his Tottenham contract will give Vincent Janssen the signal to vacate Spurs as quickly as possible.
Now, it may be considered the Dutchman has had every signal he could possibly need. If he still has hopes of a future at Tottenham then his determination is certainly admirable, although some would call it delusional.
Despite needing to play football, it’s claimed the 24 year old ‘refused to go out on loan’ to Real Betis during the January transfer window. It wasn’t the level of club he was concerned about, but rather than he was insisting on a permanent transfer, according to the Spanish claims.
Betis weren’t likely to take a gamble at the figures Tottenham will have wanted, so that was that.
Now it’s all eyes to the summer, with the assumption being Janssen, having to accept Spurs holds nothing for him, will have to take any transfer he can get… loan or otherwise.
We can see how the theory works, but with just a season left of contract after this campaign, Tottenham are hardly going to want to agree to a straight loan.
