Tottenham agree to sell duo and Man Utd ‘remain in hunt’ to snatch £40m man from Spurs’ grasp
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly agreed to the sale of two players as Man Utd “continue the hunt” for Brentford goalkeeper David Rayag.
Ange Postecoglou has been confirmed as the new Spurs manager ahead of the 2023-24 season and has a big job to do this summer.
The former Celtic boss will be tasked with overhauling the Tottenham squad after enduring a terrible season in 2022/23.
They exited every cup competition early and finished eighth in the Premier League.A detailed report from 90 Minutes said Tottenham “will consider selling Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this summer” but Harry Kane has been “told he will not be sold”.
Dier recently stated that he is open to “playing overseas again in the future”.”Who knows where football will take me in two or three years?” Dier told the Times.“I’m still young, I still have a lot of time. I take care of myself.
I think I’ll play abroad in the future, but there’s no rush. “I would really like to experience a different kind of football again. I think it will happen one day and I am looking forward to experiencing football in a different culture because I loved it even as a child.The 90 Minutes report added: “Postecoglou is ready to let go of some first-team players as the club’s reconstruction takes shape, and Davinson Sanchez is also up for sale.
Meanwhile, Dejan Kulusevski could face a win against Postecoglou if his loan move from Juventus is made permanent. Sources told 90min that the former Celtic boss is not so convinced of the Swede at the moment”.Although Man Utd are known as big admirers of Kane, they are also battling Tottenham Hotspur for Brentford and Spanish shooter Raya.
United and Spurs are looking for a new goalkeeper this summer as they seek long-term replacements for David De Gea and Hugo Lloris respectively. A report from The Telegraph said Man Utd “remain in pursuit” of Raya, but Tottenham are “leading the race” to sign the goalkeeper.Spurs are in ‘pole position’ to sign the Brentford star, but are ‘reluctant to pay Brentford manager Thomas Frank’s £40m publicly requested fee and are not expected to be paid at all’ in the deal will be achieved shortly.
“This could “open the door” for Man Utd to sign Raya “at the window later” as their “interest” in the 27-year-old “hasn’t faded”.
