Tottenham are looking to sign Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth as they try to bolster their attack this summer.
The England international is said to be one of Tottenham’s top targets, and the player is apparently up for the move.
Tottenham just need to agree a fee with Bournemouth, but, as ever, that is much easier said than done.
Indeed, even though a £65m release clause is reportedly present in Dominic Solanke’s contract, this deal won’t be straightforward.
Daniel Levy always loves to haggle and get a good deal, and, by the sound of things, that’s exactly what he’s going to try to do here.
What Tottenham are set to do in Dominic Solanke race
According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham are ready to make an initial bid for Solanke that is lower than his release clause.
Tottenham are trying to tempt Bournemouth into doing a deal on the cheap, but it’s hard to imagine that the Cherries will be keen to sell Solanke.
The striker is arguably Bournemouth’s most important player, and while he may not be worth £65m to Tottenham, he’s worth more than that to Bournemouth.
Dominic Solanke bid will likely be rejected
Dominic Solanke is a player Tottenham are very much in for, but it would be a surprise if Spurs can get this deal done promptly.
Indeed, with Spurs often looking to low-ball their rivals, Tottenham’s opening bid could fall short of Bournemouth’s valuation of their star striker.
If Tottenham’s first bid for Solanke doesn’t match the player’s release clause, don’t be surprised if this bid is promptly rejected.
However, with Spurs said to be incredibly interested in the forward, this story is unlikely to be over after this first bid.
This is a transfer saga that could drag on and on if Spurs continue to try to haggle a cheaper deal for the striker.
