Tottenham told they need at least €50m for signing – Seems ambitious to say the least

Tottenham Hotspur have their eyes set on Inter Milan star Hakan Çalhanoğlu for next summer.

Operating as a defensive/central midfielder, he’s managed four goals and one assist from 12 games this season. His form is said to have attracted attention from England where Spurs are again thought to be in the mix.

According to InterLive.it, Tottenham ‘can try’ to sign the 29-year-old after this season if two conditions are fulfilled. The first one is the north London club qualifying for the Champions League.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are currently leading the table and are one of the contenders to win the title this season. The second one is related to Pierre-Emile Højbjerg’s future at the Premier League side.

Højbjerg had to settle for a limited role under the former Celtic manager this season and with a deal until 2025, he’s already been linked with a move away from Tottenham in the upcoming windows.

If the Dane leaves and Spurs qualify for the Champions League next season, it’s said they could ‘give a serious thought’ to signing the Turkey international next summer.

Çalhanoğlu has a deal lasting until 2027 and InterLive.it state Simone Inzaghi’s side will need an ‘indispensable’ fee of at least €50m to sanction his sale.

He can operate across several midfield positions and his addition would further strengthen Tottenham’s squad, if they were to secure his services.

That €50m, though, sounds ambitious to say the least.
