Tottenham are ‘planning to offer’ €40m for Feyenoord striker Santiago Giménez and already met with his agents last week.
That’s according to Mexican outlet Jovenes Futbolistas MX, who provide exclusive information on Tottenham’s potential move for the striker.
They explain that Spurs are yet to move for Giménez as they’re waiting to see if Harry Kane departs the club, with him heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich.
If that deal were to go through, they would then ‘send an offer’ for Giménez, who they value at €40m. Feyenoord disagree and rate him at €50m, but Tottenham are ‘planning to offer’ that amount to start negotiations anyway.
Spurs have already moved ahead of a possible transfer, and ‘already met’ with the player’s representatives, who are his relatives, to discuss a potential move last week.
How those talks or even negotiations went isn’t explained but the player’s father, Christian Giménez, has insisted that no club have made any offer as yet.
“There’s been a lot of talk all season,” FR12 report him saying.
“It is normal to talk, but we have not received any proposal from any team. We have excellent contacts with Feyenoord and Dennis te Kloese, so we will see what happens in the end.
“We don’t rule out an offer at some point but at the moment he is a Feyenoord player, and he is very happy at the club.”
Those comments tally with the claims from Jovenes Futbolistas MX, who made it clear that a bid from Tottenham would only be coming if or when Kane is sold.
That deal does not appear to be progressing at present so therefore neither is any potential move to sign Giménez, but the interest is there and he’s now a name to keep a close eye on if Kane does end up moving to Bavaria.
