At the weekend, Corriere del Mezzogiorno said an ‘auction is looming’ between Tottenham Hotspur and Napoli to sign Vanderson in the summer window. It was also reported the Serie A side aren’t in favour of meeting AS Monaco’s valuation of €30m.
Trivela in Brazil say Spurs have identified the Brazilian to replace his compatriot Emerson Royal.
Tottenham are negotiating with AC Milan for Emerson and his exit would open the door for them to sign the Ligue 1 right-back.
It’s claimed Ange Postecoglou’s side have contacted Monaco recently for the player, but they haven’t tabled a formal offer so far.
Spurs have made an approach to find out the conditions needed to secure the South American’s services. Napol’s interest is also mentioned in the report.
The 23-year-old Brazilian has four years left on his deal at Monaco. The report says his club want €30m to sanction his sale this summer and this ‘could be an obstacle’ for Spurs and the Serie A side.
Trivela point out Vanderson received offers from Manchester United, Newcastle United and Barcelona last year.
They add Vanderson has a ‘dream’ of playing the Premier League and Spurs could fulfil it, more so if Emerson were to leave the north London club.
