Tottenham Hotspur have intensified their efforts to sign Real Madrid winger Rodrygo Goes, targeting him as a potential replacement for Heung-min Son, who is reportedly close to a move to Los Angeles FC. The Spurs have initiated direct negotiations with Rodrygo’s representatives and have held talks with Real Madrid over a transfer, with the Spanish club’s asking price reportedly around €90-100 million (£76-85 million).

Recent reports indicate that Tottenham are serious about making Rodrygo a key signing under manager Thomas Frank, seeing him as a wide-forward capable of one-on-one situations and making runs behind defences. Despite some earlier claims suggesting Spurs were not prioritizing a player in Rodrygo’s position, sources clarify that with Son’s possible departure, Tottenham see Rodrygo as a top option to fill the left wing vacancy.

Fabio Paratici, Tottenham's sporting director, has been directly involved in discussions aimed at securing the 24-year-old Brazilian’s signature. Rodrygo himself is reportedly considering the prospect of a new challenge, with Tottenham emerging as the primary realistic suitor after interest from other clubs such as Arsenal and Liverpool has stalled or shifted elsewhere.

Liverpool is prioritizing other targets and PSG has denied interest, leaving Spurs as the leading contender. Meanwhile, Real Madrid coaching staff, including Xabi Alonso, are reportedly open to a transfer if a fair offer is made. The situation is evolving rapidly as the transfer window approaches its close, with Spurs pushing ahead to finalize the deal and potentially integrate Rodrygo into their attacking lineup following Son’s anticipated exit.
